What is vertical analysis?

Vertical analysis

A method of financial statement analysis in which each entry for each of the three major categories of accounts (assets, liabilities and equities) in a balance sheet is represented as a proportion of the total account. In vertical analysis of financial statements, an item is used as a base value and all other accounts in the financial statement are compared to this base value. On the balance sheet, total assets equal 100% and each asset is stated as a percentage of total assets. Similarly, total liabilities and stockholder's equity are assigned 100%, with a given liability or equity account stated as a percentage of total liabilities and stockholder's equity. On the income statement, 100% is assigned to net sales, with all revenue and expense accounts then related to it. The main advantages of vertical analysis are that the balance sheets of businesses of all sizes can easily be compared. It also makes it easy to see relative annual changes within one business.

What happens when being audited by Student Financial Canada?

Last year on my loan application I stated I would be making no income for the school year. 4 months later found out we can receive employment insurance while in university for the first time ever. I applied to this at the end of August and did not know I was supposed to tell loan people, mainly because I already received my loan. I received a letter stating I'm being audited and to send them a 2009 income tax return and write out what I made monthly from Jan. 2009 to present. I'm so worried they are going to cut my funding for this year. I don't even know how you go about telling them afterwards if you change your mind and decide to work or have income, like if there's some sort of form or something. If anyone else has been in this position PLEASE tell me your story and how it worked out!! I was making $600/month on EI... that was my only income besides student loan all year.
