What is
an
Income Statement Report for Credit Union Branches
? Branch-level Income Statements are considered essential month-end reports and are used by corporate executives and branch managers to track revenues, expenses and profitability. Some of the main functionality in this type of report is that it enables the user to run it for any month and any credit union branch, including at the consolidated level. The columns compare the current month to the same period last year as well as to the budget, and it calculates the variances. You find an example of this type of report below.
Purpose of
Branch-level Income Statements Credit Unions use Branch-level Income Statements to enable self-service analysis of the monthly performance of each branch, including monitoring of variances from plan and prior year. When used as part of good business practices in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) departments, a company can improve its strategic decisions and profitability, and it can reduce the chances that managers don't quickly discover major variances and the reasons behind them.
