We perceive the things we see on a daily basis on what we perceive. In reality, we don't know what reality is. And why is this in the personal finance section? Is your banker asking for this information or something? If this is a mistake, then ok, sure, everybody makes mistakes, you just need to know you made them.

For branded items, especially electronics goods, you may find the information of their site itself. For the others, for which no site/ information of site is available, you can trust shooping sites like ebay to some extent. They will keep their rates close to the market rates (sometimes a bit higher, but never less).\n\nHope you find it useful.

Creditors use the information in a financial statement to gage the credit worthiness of a business. A financial statement will tell how much money is coming in, how much money is going out and if the business has any assets. A potential investor would look at the same information. A creditor would want to know if there were potential investors and what their credit worthiness is. Labor unions seldom come in to play when it comes to looking at a financial statement. As a rule, unions are considered to be a liability.

The State Governments have the requirement to hold money and sometimes property that is considered "abandoned" by the owner.  This is often things like unaccessed bank accounts, unused gift certificates and unclaimed dividends from stocks and bonds.  \n\nYou can look at each state web site for information about these funds and beware of people who offer to find missing funds for you (for a price).  Most of the time they access the same publicly available web sites you could access.

I'd have to say cash flow, because without cash, you basically cannot achieve your business goals. net and gross profit are good if you're looking for an investor, but even then, they want to know your cash flow...where your cash is going and how much cash do you have at any given time. if you're borrowing money, your lender will also want to know your cash flow so that they can know if you'll have enough to pay off the debt. \n\nSo yes, in my opinion, cash flow is the most important. as they say, "cash is king"!!!

It's really not necessary.  They send a lot of paperwork because the government requires them to, but you don't necessarily need most of it.  Sometimes it's nice to know what stocks your fund owns, but I usually just glance at it and then toss it.\n\nAnd, yes, I believe most of that info is probably available online now.  No need to clutter up your files any more than necessary.
