Some manager's bonus are reflective of the financial statements as well.Performance evaluation - Similar to management evaluation, but in a broad sense, (potential) stakeholders want to evaluate the overall performance of the business to see if they should invest in the business or not.Cashflow prediction - Creditors will be interested in knowing if they should lend the business money. It helps them to estimate whether the business will be able to pay back the interest and principal on the loan. Also shareholders will be able to evaluate if the business will be able to pay out dividends.Monitoring contract compliance - Some terms and conditions of banks limit the actions that management can take often by financial statement numbers. For example the business may have to maintain a certain current ration, not pay over a certain amount in dividends, or not take out more loans.
