Key Financial Ratios

Key Financial Ratios are different calculated values, used to evaluate the company and to give a simple indication to how the company is running. Financial Ratios are calculated using formulae, working with Account balances and various constants. Common Ratios are Turnover and Gross Profit.

Key Financial Ratios are user-defined: no samples are supplied with Hansa. You can define them using the Report Settings setting in the Nominal Ledger. Please refer to the page covering the Key Financial Ratios report for full details.

You can export the Key Financial Ratios either for the whole year or for a certain period.

Open the 'Exports' list window and double-click 'Key Financial Ratios'. The 'Specify Key Ratio Export' window is opened.
