**重要**：這個指令協助處理財務報表的工作流程，但不提供財務建議。所有報表在用於申報或送件之前，都應該由合格的財務專業人員審閱。
產生附期間對比和差異分析的財務報表。下面的流程會帶你走過損益表的產生；資產負債表和現金流量表的參考格式、GAAP 表達要求（ASC 220/210/230），以及常見的期末調整，都收錄在後面當作輔助參考資料。
## 用法
```
/financial-statements <period-type> <period>
```
### 參數
- `period-type`：報告期間類型：
- `monthly`：單月損益表，與上個月和去年同月比較
- `quarterly`：季度損益表，與上一季和去年同季比較
- `annual`：全年損益表，與去年比較
- `ytd`：年初至今損益表，與去年同期的年初至今比較
- `period`：要報告的期間（例如 `2024-12`、`2024-Q4`、`2024`）
## 流程
### 1. 蒐集財務資料
如果有連接 ~~erp 或 ~~data warehouse：
- 拉出指定期間的試算表（trial balance）或損益表資料
- 拉出比較期間的資料（上一期、去年同期、預算／預測）
- 拉出科目階層和分組，用於呈現
如果沒有連接資料來源：
> 連接 ~~erp 或 ~~data warehouse，就能自動拉取財務資料。你也可以貼上試算表資料、上傳試算表，或提供損益表資料來分析。
請使用者提供：
- 本期的營收和費用資料（依科目或類別）
- 比較期間的資料（上一期、去年同期，以及／或預算）
- 任何已知的調整或重分類
### 2. 產生損益表
用標準的多欄格式呈現：
```

### 3. 差異分析
對每個項目計算並標記重大差異。
#### 差異計算
對每個項目計算：
- **金額差異：** 本期 - 上一期（或本期 - 預算）
- **百分比差異：** (本期 - 上一期) / |上一期| x 100
- **基點（basis point）變動：** 對利潤率和比率，用基點表示變動（1 bp = 0.01%）
#### 重大性門檻
定義什麼才算需要調查的「重大」差異。常見的做法：
- **固定金額門檻：** 差異超過設定的金額（例如 $50K、$100K）
- **百分比門檻：** 差異超過設定的百分比（例如 10%、15%）
- **合併：** 金額門檻或百分比門檻，任一個超過就算
- **分級：** 依項目的大小和波動性，用不同的門檻
*門檻範例（請依你的組織調整）：*
| 項目大小 | 金額門檻 | 百分比門檻 |
|---------------|-----------------|---------------------|
| > $10M | $500K | 5% |
| $1M - $10M | $100K | 10% |
| < $1M | $50K | 15% |
#### 差異拆解
把總差異拆成各個組成的驅動因素：
- **量／數量效應：** 以上一期的費率計算，量的變化
- **費率／價格效應：** 以本期的量計算，費率／價格的變化
- **組合（mix）效應：** 費率／利潤率不同的項目之間，組成的轉移
- **新增／停止的項目：** 只出現在其中一期的項目
- **一次性／非經常性項目：** 預期不會重複的項目
- **時間效應：** 在期間之間移動的項目（不是營運 run rate 真正的變化）
- **匯率效應：** 匯率變動對換算後結果的影響
#### 調查與敘述
對每個重大差異：
1. 量化差異（金額和百分比）
2. 判斷是有利還是不利
3. 用上面的類別拆解成各個驅動因素
4. 提供業務原因的敘述說明
5. 評估這個差異是暫時的，還是代表趨勢改變
6. 註明需要的行動（進一步調查、更新預測、流程變更）

## GAAP 表達要求
### 損益表（ASC 220 / IAS 1）
- 呈現某一期間認列的所有收益和費損項目
- 費用依性質（材料、人工、折舊）或依功能（COGS、R&D、S&M、G&A）分類，美國公司比較常用功能別
- 如果依功能別分類，要在附註中依性質揭露折舊、攤銷和員工福利成本
- 營業項目和非營業項目要分開呈現
- 所得稅費用要單獨一行列示
- 美國 GAAP 和 IFRS 都禁止列示非常項目（extraordinary items）
- 停業單位（discontinued operations）要單獨呈現，並扣除稅後淨額
**常見的表達考量：**
- **營收細分：** ASC 606 要求把營收細分成能反映經濟因素如何影響營收的性質、金額、時點和不確定性的類別
- **股票報酬（SBC）：** 歸類在各功能別費用類別（R&D、S&M、G&A）內，並在附註中揭露 SBC 總額
- **重組費用：** 重大的話要單獨呈現，或併入營業費用並在附註中揭露
- **非 GAAP 調整：** 如果呈現非 GAAP 指標（在財報發布中很常見），要明確標示並調節回 GAAP
### 資產負債表（ASC 210 / IAS 1）
- 區分流動和非流動的資產與負債
- 流動：預期在 12 個月內（或營業週期更長時用營業週期）變現、消耗或清償
- 資產依流動性排序（流動性最高的在前），這是美國的標準做法
- 應收帳款以扣除信用損失備抵後的淨額列示（ASC 326）
- 不動產及設備以扣除累計折舊後的淨額列示
- 商譽不攤銷，每年測試減損（ASC 350）
- 租賃：對營業租賃和融資租賃都要認列使用權資產和租賃負債（ASC 842）
### 現金流量表（ASC 230 / IAS 7）
- 間接法最常見（從淨利出發，調整非現金項目）
- 直接法也允許，但很少用（需要補充間接法的調節表）
- 必須揭露已付利息和已付所得稅（列在報表本身或附註皆可）
- 非現金的投資和籌資活動要單獨揭露（例如以租賃取得的資產、為併購發行的股票）
- 約當現金：原始到期日 3 個月或更短的短期高流動性投資

**Important**: This command assists with financial statement workflows but does not provide financial advice. All statements should be reviewed by qualified financial professionals before use in reporting or filings.
Generate financial statements with period-over-period comparison and variance analysis. The workflow below walks through income statement generation; balance sheet and cash flow statement reference formats, GAAP presentation requirements (ASC 220/210/230), and common period-end adjustments are included as supporting reference material.
## Usage
```
/financial-statements <period-type> <period>
```
### Arguments
- `period-type` — The reporting period type:
- `monthly` — Single month P&L with prior month and prior year month comparison
- `quarterly` — Quarter P&L with prior quarter and prior year quarter comparison
- `annual` — Full year P&L with prior year comparison
- `ytd` — Year-to-date P&L with prior year YTD comparison
- `period` — The period to report (e.g., `2024-12`, `2024-Q4`, `2024`)
## Workflow
### 1. Gather Financial Data
If ~~erp or ~~data warehouse is connected:
- Pull trial balance or income statement data for the specified period
- Pull comparison period data (prior period, prior year, budget/forecast)
- Pull account hierarchy and groupings for presentation
If no data source is connected:
> Connect ~~erp or ~~data warehouse to pull financial data automatically. You can also paste trial balance data, upload a spreadsheet, or provide income statement data for analysis.
Prompt the user to provide:
- Current period revenue and expense data (by account or category)
- Comparison period data (prior period, prior year, and/or budget)
- Any known adjustments or reclassifications
### 2. Generate Income Statement
Present in standard multi-column format:

### 3. Variance Analysis
For each line item, calculate and flag material variances.
#### Variance Calculation
For each line item, calculate:
- **Dollar variance:** Current period - Prior period (or current period - budget)
- **Percentage variance:** (Current - Prior) / |Prior| x 100
- **Basis point change:** For margins and ratios, express change in basis points (1 bp = 0.01%)
#### Materiality Thresholds
Define what constitutes a "material" variance requiring investigation. Common approaches:
- **Fixed dollar threshold:** Variances exceeding a set dollar amount (e.g., $50K, $100K)
- **Percentage threshold:** Variances exceeding a set percentage (e.g., 10%, 15%)
- **Combined:** Either the dollar OR percentage threshold is exceeded
- **Scaled:** Different thresholds for different line items based on their size and volatility
*Example thresholds (adjust for your organization):*
| Line Item Size | Dollar Threshold | Percentage Threshold |
|---------------|-----------------|---------------------|
| > $10M | $500K | 5% |
| $1M - $10M | $100K | 10% |
| < $1M | $50K | 15% |
#### Variance Decomposition
Break down total variance into component drivers:
- **Volume/quantity effect:** Change in volume at prior period rates
- **Rate/price effect:** Change in rate/price at current period volume
- **Mix effect:** Shift in composition between items with different rates/margins
- **New/discontinued items:** Items present in one period but not the other
- **One-time/non-recurring items:** Items that are not expected to repeat
- **Timing effect:** Items shifting between periods (not a true change in run rate)
- **Currency effect:** Impact of FX rate changes on translated results
#### Investigation and Narrative
For each material variance:
1. Quantify the variance ($ and %)
2. Identify whether favorable or unfavorable
3. Decompose into drivers using the categories above
4. Provide a narrative explanation of the business reason
5. Assess whether the variance is temporary or represents a trend change
6. Note any actions required (further investigation, forecast update, process change)
### 4. Key Metrics Summary
```

Net margin (%) XX.X% XX.X% X.X pp
OpEx as % of revenue XX.X% XX.X% X.X pp

### 5. Material Variance Summary
List all material variances requiring investigation:
| Line Item | Variance ($) | Variance (%) | Direction | Preliminary Driver | Action |

## GAAP Presentation Requirements
### Income Statement (ASC 220 / IAS 1)
- Present all items of income and expense recognized in a period
- Classify expenses either by nature (materials, labor, depreciation) or by function (COGS, R&D, S&M, G&A) — function is more common for US companies
- If classified by function, disclose depreciation, amortization, and employee benefit costs by nature in the notes
- Present operating and non-operating items separately
- Show income tax expense as a separate line
- Extraordinary items are prohibited under both US GAAP and IFRS
- Discontinued operations presented separately, net of tax
**Common presentation considerations:**
- **Revenue disaggregation:** ASC 606 requires disaggregation of revenue into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue are affected by economic factors
- **Stock-based compensation:** Classify within the functional expense categories (R&D, S&M, G&A) with total SBC disclosed in notes
- **Restructuring charges:** Present separately if material, or include in operating expenses with note disclosure
- **Non-GAAP adjustments:** If presenting non-GAAP measures (common in earnings releases), clearly label and reconcile to GAAP
### Balance Sheet (ASC 210 / IAS 1)
- Distinguish between current and non-current assets and liabilities
- Current: expected to be realized, consumed, or settled within 12 months (or the operating cycle if longer)
- Present assets in order of liquidity (most liquid first) — standard US practice
- Accounts receivable shown net of allowance for credit losses (ASC 326)
- Property and equipment shown net of accumulated depreciation
- Goodwill is not amortized — tested for impairment annually (ASC 350)
- Leases: recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating and finance leases (ASC 842)
### Cash Flow Statement (ASC 230 / IAS 7)
- Indirect method is most common (start with net income, adjust for non-cash items)
- Direct method is permitted but rarely used (requires supplemental indirect reconciliation)
- Interest paid and income taxes paid must be disclosed (either on the face or in notes)
- Non-cash investing and financing activities disclosed separately (e.g., assets acquired under leases, stock issued for acquisitions)
- Cash equivalents: short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of 3 months or less

## Common Adjustments and Reclassifications
### Period-End Adjustments
1. **Accruals:** Record expenses incurred but not yet paid (AP accruals, payroll accruals, interest accruals)
2. **Deferrals:** Adjust prepaid expenses, deferred revenue, and deferred costs for the period
3. **Depreciation and amortization:** Book periodic depreciation/amortization from fixed asset and intangible schedules
4. **Bad debt provision:** Adjust allowance for credit losses based on aging analysis and historical loss rates
5. **Inventory adjustments:** Record write-downs for obsolete, slow-moving, or impaired inventory
6. **FX revaluation:** Revalue foreign-currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities at period-end rates
7. **Tax provision:** Record current and deferred income tax expense
8. **Fair value adjustments:** Mark-to-market investments, derivatives, and other fair-value items
### Reclassifications
1. **Current/non-current reclassification:** Reclassify long-term debt maturing within 12 months to current
2. **Contra account netting:** Net allowances against gross receivables, accumulated depreciation against gross assets
3. **Intercompany elimination:** Eliminate intercompany balances and transactions in consolidation
4. **Discontinued operations:** Reclassify results of discontinued operations to a separate line item
5. **Equity method adjustments:** Record share of investee income/loss for equity method investments
6. **Segment reclassifications:** Ensure transactions are properly classified by operating segment
