Financial statements that show more than the current year’s amounts. For example, it is generally accepted that a corporation’s income statement will show the most recent three years of results. This provides the reader with two years of past amounts as a frame of reference for the most recent year. Comparative balance sheets typically show the most recent two years.

"I am currently a returning adult student studying business and accounting. My Intro to Accounting professor recommended AccountingCoach, and it has been invaluable. I opted to become a PRO user because I knew it would serve me well, not only throughout my schooling but in my career as well. The certificates, flashcards, and practice quizzes are a great way to master and maintain accounting concepts. The site is very user friendly and has all the information I could ever need. A fantastic resource!" - Renee S.
