Introduction
Financial performance is a comprehensive review of a company’s entire position in areas such as assets, liabilities, equity, costs, revenue, and overall profitability (Busco et al., 2019). Assets, liabilities, and equity are all measured separately. It may be calculated using a variety of business formulae that provide users with precise information about a company’s potential efficacy. In the case of internal users, financial performance is used as a benchmark to gauge the health and position of their specific organisations (Galant and Cadez, 2017). The financial performance of a firm is scrutinised by other parties in order to decide whether or not it is a worthwhile investment. Financial statements must be analysed before any financial indicators can be used to determine overall performance. A financial performance study uses precise financial formulae and ratios, which, when contrasted to historical and industry indicators, give insight into a company’s financial health and performance (Rodriguez-Fernandez, 2016). Financial performance is measured using seven important ratios that are widely utilised in the business sector to aid and assess the overall performance of a firm.
This report has focused on identifying which company, between Virgin Atlantic and British Airways, is a better performer in terms of Financials. The comparison will be achieved by conducting a ratio analysis between the companies, taking their financial data of 2019 and 2020. The poor Performer company will be advised strategies through discussing the application of Balanced Scorecard and Integrating Reporting. The Kaplan and Norton’s Balanced Scorecard Framework will be considered while discussing the application. And, the <IR> Framework of integrated reporting will be considered to suggest its benefits and limitation to the poor performer company.
