Depending on your objectives and scope, you will need to select the most suitable methods and metrics to measure and compare the financial aspects of your project or investment. Financial statements analysis involves examining the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement of a business entity to evaluate its profitability, liquidity, solvency, and efficiency. Investment appraisal involves calculating the net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), payback period, and profitability index of a project or investment to determine its viability and attractiveness. Risk analysis involves identifying, quantifying, and mitigating the uncertainties and threats that may affect the financial outcomes of your project or investment. You can use ratios, trends, and benchmarks to analyze the financial statements, and tools such as sensitivity analysis, scenario analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, and decision trees to estimate the probability and impact of various risks and contingencies. This will help you compare different alternatives and select the one that maximizes the return on investment (ROI).
