To analyze financial statements for fraud and assess earnings quality, you verify consistency across income, balance sheet, and cash flow statements, score accrual ratios against cash flows, and evaluate over a dozen red flags like abnormal receivables to generate fraud probability guidance.

DuPont analysis is a framework that decomposes Return on Equity (ROE) into distinct performance drivers. It tracks revenue and receivable growth alongside accruals vs cash flows to explain the underlying mechanisms of a company's financial performance.

Financial statement analysis supports A-share, H-share, and US-listed issuers. It requires profit, balance sheet, and cash flow data to confirm statement reconciliations and produce red-flag summaries for equity research workflows.

You compare cash flow trends with accrual ratios by walking through core statement linkages to verify consistency. Tracking cash conversion health against aggressive capitalizations and cash loan imbalances surfaces hidden risks and warning signals.

Accrual ratios have limitations for fraud detection as they require confirming statement reconciliations across profit, balance sheet, and cash flow data. Without complete financial statement inputs, isolated accrual scoring cannot reliably produce red-flag summaries or probability guidance.
