You Evaluate Loan Requests as Part of Your Job at Eastwood

question 2

Essay

You evaluate loan requests as part of your job at Eastwood National Bank. One loan request you received is from Surfer Dude Supplies, a small company. Richard Tracy, the CEO, is requesting $105,000 and brings you a trial balance (or statement of accounts) for his first year of operations ended December 31.

While you are willing to work with Richard, how would you explain to him that a complete set of financial statements from his accountant would be more useful for evaluating the loan request?
