Curveline OLAP Analysis

Financial analysis refers to an assessment of the viability, stability and profitability of a business, sub-business or project. First of all, a business must already have appropriate management reports to quickly identify areas requiring management attention. Once these issues are identified, it will be necessary to ?drill-down?into operational aspects that need fixing. There are various reasons that lower-level management and employees may not be capable or willing to identify and fix problems. Therefore a neutral finance-based analysis will help identify the problems and their sources, as well as point to ways of improving the problems.
