Financial Analysts study financial statements and monitor the operating conditions of firms to measure such factors as profitability, liquidity, risk, and efficiency of operations. An analyst identifies problems and recommends corrective action. A financial analyst may also complete special projects, such as looking at the financial implications of a company's credit policy.
Credit Analysts in non-financial companies study the financial statements of their firms' credit customers. A firm must be careful to provide goods or services to a customer that wants to pay at a later date only if it thoroughly understands the customer's financial condition.
