Answer)

I must do to horizontal analysis for seeing the trends of past years,Veritcal analysis for seeing what expenses are needed to be reduced,what incomes are crucial for organization etc and ration analysis for finding the solvency,liquidity and profitability position .

For performing the horizontal and vertical analysis I need reliable financial statements which are audited.If not audited I would somewhat better if management give assurance that such financial statements are true up to their knowledge.

We can use many sources for comparision like bank statements which is external sources to get actualities of expenses and incomes and comparing them with previous years or even the the financial statements of competitors if any available for evaluation of our position and so on which are external sources and department results,financial statements given and so on are internal sources.

There are many decision like portfolio analysis,the competitive moves,raising capital and so on.
