Who are the users of financial statements?  When it comes to financial statements there are two groups of users: internal users and external users. Internal users are directly involved in operating and managing the business or organization.  They use financial statements to help improve the business or organization. External users are not directly involved in running the organization. Examples are brokers, lawyers, investors, and Banks (lenders). All external users do not utilize financial statements for similar reasons. For example, lenders use accounting information to assess whether a business or organization will be able to pay loans with interest, and investors use financial statements to determine whether it is worth investing in a business.
