Financial Trends Analysis (FTA)

A Financial Trends Analysis (FTA) analyzes key financial metrics, including ratios, trends and benchmarks, and helps a health center evaluate its financial condition by comparing the results to industry benchmarks. A series of ratios in four key areas: profitability, growth, solvency, and debt capacity identifies opportunities for improvement in existing operations and better alignment with strategic objectives. A Financial Trends Analysis is useful for executive boards in evaluating financial condition, establishing a framework for decision making, and completing funding applications. Health center management use the data to assess operations and impact on financial position, and external partners such as foundations, lenders and government agencies find FTAs helpful in making investment decisions.
