Accounting ratios are calculated based on post financial information. Past performance of a company does not necessarily indicate its future performance. Accounting ratios are affected by accounting estimates. Differences in accounting policies will hinder inter-company comparisons. Accounting ratios can only identity the symptoms, but not the cause. They are not able to provide any suggestions or advice to solve the existing or future problems. Non-monetary but significant items. such as the quality of the products, leadership of the management and the business environment, are ignored. 98
