Users of financial statements attach great importance to the income statement (or P&L) statement. It's easy to see why; the income statement shows a company's revenue, its expenditure incurred in earning that revenue, and, finally, its net income or profit. A company's net income is an important indicator of its long-term prosperity and ability to create shareholder value.

Investors, analysts, and other interested parties should not focus on income exclusively, however. Depending on accounting policies employed, the effect on reported income in the financial statements can be significant. This tutorial introduces the various elements of the income statement, enabling you to look behind the key figures. With this knowledge, you should be able to make an informed judgment on a company’s performance.
