Accounting numbers influence investing decisions.

Accounting numbers also affect creditors decisions. A commercial bank normally investigates an organization's financial reports and creditworthiness before choosing whether to grant or deny the loan.

The info is fundamental for the bank to guarantee that the loan is safe and sound.
