We discovered from the test of hypotheses that financial statement is relied upon in investment decision making and financial statements are useful for forecasting company's performance. Concluded was drawn based on the findings that financial statement plays a vital role in investment decision making and recommends that no investment decision should be taken without the consideration of a company's financial statements.
