Read a profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow statement well enough to see what a business is actually doing. Use when reviewing your own numbers, a partner's, or an acquisition target's.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Financial statements literacy Three statements describe a business from three angles, and the story only makes sense when read together. Profit without cash, or growth funded by debt, are visible immediately to someone who reads all three and invisible to someone who reads one. ## Method 1. **Read the cash flow statement first.** Profit is an accounting judgement; cash movement is closer to fact, and businesses fail from running out of cash rather than from reporting a loss. 2. **Trace how profit differs from cash.** Working capital changes, capitalised costs, and depreciation explain the gap, and a large unexplained gap is the question to ask. 3. **Read the balance sheet for obligations.** What is owed and when, because a solvent-looking business with debt maturing next quarter is a different business. 4. **Distinguish recurring from one-off.** A profitable year containing an asset sale is not a profitable business, and this is the most common presentational distortion. 5. **Compare periods, not just levels.** Direction and rate of change carry more information than any single figure. …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/financial-statements-literacy@sha256:5f5c5f326d6cd3c0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.2d6d1c9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
