What is
a
Consolidated Profit & Loss Report
? Consolidated profit & loss (P&L) reports are considered essential monthly reports for healthcare groups and are used by Boards, CFOs and Controllers to review monthly aggregate results. Some of the main functionality in this type of financial report is that it is parameter driven and the user can run it for divisions as well as the top consolidated level in the organization. The individual clinics/locations will dynamically expand across the columns with a consolidated total on the far right. The rows are organized in a typical P&L layout, showing revenues, expenses, margins and net profit (loss). You find an example of this type of financial report below.
Purpose of
Consolidated Profit & Loss Reports Healthcare providers use Consolidated Profit & Loss Reports to provide healthcare executives at the group level with a clear view of consolidated results while at the same time seeing how each clinic individually is contributing. When used as part of good business practices in a Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) department, an organization can improve its profitability and financial performance communication as well as reduce the chances that executives make slower or sub-optimal decisions because they don't easily see each location's contribution to consolidated results.
