1. INTRODUCTION
The importance of the automotive sector in Brazil is clear. Both internally and externally, since the first industrial revolution, they have been bringing advances to society, developing technology, generating jobs and heating the economy.
According to ANFAVEA – National Association of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, Brazil reached the position of ninth largest producer of motor vehicles in 2006, with two million and 600,000 units produced.
Fiat Automóveis S.A. at the end of 2007, it had 15,543 employees, an increase of 3,891 compared to 2006. The company in 2007 had a net operating income of R$17,115,187,000, with a growth of 39.5% over 2006, reflecting the higher sales volume in the local market (+31.9%), as well as the increase of 7.76% in dollar prices of exports, seeking to reduce the corrosion of margins caused by the overvalued real.
In the internal scenario, performance in 2007 was positive, with growth in the world economy. This sector was also responsible for an investment of one billion and 572 million dollars according to ANFAVEA.
The volume of light vehicle exports increased compared to 2006 by 10.4% (105,912 units in 2007 and 95,912 units in 2006), an increase of 27.0% in value of US$1,106.8 million in 2007 compared to US$ 871.5 million in 2006.
It is emphasized that accounting is a science that takes care of the generation of information contained in the company’s assets and has the function of interpreting, recording and controlling all the facts that affect the company’s asset situation. Through the financial statements collected by the company, information can be extracted regarding its economic and financial position, hence the importance of this study.
The importance of balance sheet analysis is to develop based on the financial statements sufficient information for decision making, because more and more information is taking a decisive role in business management. The information provides an assessment of past/present management, as well as subsidising decisions and strategies for future management.
This work aims to analyze the financial statements of Fiat Automóveis S.A. through a comparison of the management indexes of 2006 and 2007, identifying the factors that led the company to have increased its net profit by 107.40%.
Finally, the problem of this research was to analyze the aspects that led to Fiat Automóveis S.A. to have increased its net income in 2007 by 107.40% compared to 2006. It was defined as a hypothesis the decrease in costs from 2006 to 2007, where Fiat with the best costs increased its profit.
The knowledge acquired with this course completion work will provide the opportunity to deepen the study of the theme, expanding sources of research and technical knowledge added throughout the course of accounting sciences and taxes.

3. THEORETICAL REFERENCE
3.1 HISTORY
In Brazil, S/A companies are obliged to publish their numbers through the financial statements at the end of each accounting year. The purpose of bringing up the intent and correct performance of its administrators.
The growth of companies led managers to a concern with the decisions made over time, which led to the need to create tools that would help them in the management of the company. The tools that monitor the decisions made are called financial statements.
Financial analysis is important for the economic and financial knowledge of other companies, nobly competitors and suppliers. The most important of the analysis instrument, however, is its internal use by the company. (PADOVEZE, 2004, p. 191).
3.2 ACCOUNTING FUNCTION
Accounting has the function of interpreting, recording and controlling all acts that give rise to facts that affect the company’s patrimonial, financial and economic situation. A good knowledge of accounting mechanisms is necessary for the development of a good financial analysis, but it alone is not enough.
3.3 MANDATORY REPORTS
According to the requirement of the civil code already mentioned, Article 176 of Law No. 6,404/76 establishes that, at the end of each fiscal year, the company’s board of directors must prepare, based on the bookkeeping, the following financial statements, which shall clearly express the company’s equity situation and the changes that occurred in the year:
3.3.1 BALANCE SHEET
In the Balance Sheet (BP) the company demonstrates the nature and values that make up the company’s assets, in a given period.
The balance sheet shows the equity and financial position of a company at any given time. The information that this statement provides is completely static and, most likely, its structure will be relatively different sometime after its closure. However, due to the relevant trend information that can be extracted from its various groups of accounts, the balance sheet will serve as an indispensable starting element for the knowledge of a company’s economic and financial situation. (ASSAF NETO, 2006, p.67).
3.3.2 STATEMENT OF INCOME FOR THE YEAR
The Statement of Income for the Year (DRE) reveals the results of the period and the factors generating this result.
The income statement for the year aims to provide, in a schematized manner, the results (profit or loss) earned by the company in a given fiscal year, which are transferred to equity accounts. Profit (or loss) is the result of revenues, costs and expenses incurred by the company in the period and appropriated under the jurisdiction regime, that is, regardless of whether those amounts have been paid or received. (ASSAF NETO, 2006, p.84).
3.3.3 STATEMENT OF ACCUMULATED PROFITS OR LOSS
The Statement of Retained Earnings or Losses (DLPA) that shows the change in the accumulated profit and loss account from one period to the next.
According to Iudícibus (1998, p.59) defines that the statement of income for the year ends with the calculation of net income. Then, the net income is carried to the statement of accumulated profits or losses to make its distribution.
3.3.4 DEMONSTRATION OF CHANGES IN SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity (DMPL) that reveals the variation occurred in the net worth group.
According to ASSAF (2006, p.100) the statement of changes in net worth is a more comprehensive accounting statement than the statement of accumulated profits or losses, and the company may choose whether or not to prepare them. If published, this statement legally replaces that of retained earnings.
3.3.5 EXPLANATORY NOTES
In addition to the financial statements mentioned above, accounting adds to those statements other additional information in order to enrich the reports and prevent them from becoming misleading.
The explanatory notes are intended to clarify certain important information that cannot be detailed in the financial statements prepared. For example: composition of share capital; detailing long-term debts; the company’s shareholding in other companies; criteria for the evaluation of assets, etc. (ASSAF NETO, 2006, p.57).
3.3.6 COUNCIL OPINION
It is important to remember that the law does not require the publication of the opinion of the supervisory board; when it exists. Such an opinion must be offered to the shareholders’ general meeting, but its publication is optional.
3.3.7 OPINION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Opinion of the independent auditors is always the responsibility of the management of the company and are signed by the duly authorized accountant.
3.3.8 CASH FLOW STATEMENT
The Cash Flow Statement (DFC) aims to show how availability movements occurred in a given period of time.
According to IUDICIBUS (2002, p.220), the Cash Flow Statement is a financial flow, because they reflect the money movements that occurred in the entities. The difference is verified in the scope of approaches of these reports.
3.3.9 STATEMENT OF ADDED VALUE
Statement of Added Value (DVA) aims to inform the wealth created by the company and the form of distribution.
3.3.10 MANAGEMENT REPORT
The Management Report highlights the social business and the main administrative facts that occurred in the year, investments in other companies, the policy of distribution of dividends and profit reinvestments.
3.4 BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
The balance sheet analysis is extremely important for companies, because it is in them that all the information of their economic and financial situation is found. The balance sheet analysis allows debugging the static information of the financial statements bringing to the reader the correct idea of the movement of accounts occurred with a given company in the fiscal year.
3.5 VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL ANALYSIS
Through horizontal analysis, we compared the same account or group of accounts in several periods, trying to evaluate the variations that occurred, that is, its evolution.
Index number = Vd / Vb x 100
In the vertical analysis, the percentage of each account is calculated in relation to the total asset. In the balance sheet for example, is how much an account represents in relation to the total of a group of accounts.
Av n = RUBRICA n / BASE n x 100
3.6 ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC INDICATORS
The evaluation of the company is made through indexes, requires the comparison with standards and the setting of the relative importance of each index.
The indexes are divided into two groups that highlight the financial and economic aspects.
Financial aspects are divided into: structure and liquidity.
-The structure indices are: share of third-party capital, composition of indebtedness, fixed equity and fixed assets of non-current resources.
These indexes show the breakdown of the major lines of financial decisions, terms of obtaining and applying resources.
3.6.1 THIRD-PARTY EQUITY
Indicates how much the company took from third-party capital to R$100 of equity. The lower this index, the better.
Formula: Third-party capital / Equity x 100
3.6.2 COMPOSITION OF INDEBTEDNESS
Indicates the percentage of short-term obligations in relation to the total of the obligations. The smaller the better.
Formula: Liabilities / Capital of third parties circulating x 100
3.6.3 IMMOBILIZATION OF SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Indicates how much the company has invested in permanent assets for each R$100 of shareholders’ equity, that is, when the company has invested in permanent assets. The smaller the better.
Formula: Permanent Assets / Equity x 100
3.6.4 IMMOBILIZATION OF NON-CURRENT RESOURCES
Indicates the percentage of non-current assets of shareholders’ equity plus the long-term chargeable that was destined to the permanent asset. The smaller the better.
Formula: Permanent asset / equity + Long-term payable x 100
3.6.5 GENERAL LIQUIDITY
This index also aims to verify the company’s ability to make its payments, but now it commishes the overall ability of short- and long-term payments.
Formula: General Liquidity = AT+ RLP / PC + ELP
3.7.6 CURRENT LIQUIDITY
This indicator aims to verify whether the company has the ability to make its payments in the short term. To calculate current liquidity, the current asset is taken and divided by current liabilities. The amounts to be received and payable in the short term (Up to 360 days) are understood by rolling.
Formula: Current Liquidity = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
3.6.7 DRY LIQUIDITY
This indicator is similar to the previous one, the difference is that in this stock is excluded from the calculation of the asset. In this way the index will be smaller than the previous index.
Formula: Dry Liquidity = (Current Assets-Inventories) / Current Liabilities
Economic aspects are divided into: profitability
-Profitability indices are: Active turnover, net margin, asset profitability and return on equity.
3.6.8 ACTIVE TURNOVER
Indicates how much the company sold for each R$ 1.00 of total investment. The bigger the better.
Formula: Net Sales / Asset
3.6.9 NET MARGIN
Indicates how much the company makes profit for every R$ 100 sold. The bigger the better.
Formula: Net Income / Sales x 100
3.6.10 ASSET PROFITABILITY
Indicates how much the company obtains from profit for each R$ 100 invested. The bigger the better.
Formula: Net Income / Assets x 1000
3.6.11 RETURN ON EQUITY
Indicates how much the company obtains from profit for each R$ 100 of equity invested. The bigger the better.
Formula: Net Income / Average Equity x 100
3.6.12 AVERAGE TIME OF RECEIPT OF SALES
Formula: Duplicates to receive / daily sales
Formula: Duplicates to receive / sales x 360
The average time of receipt of sales indicates how many days, on average, the company takes to receive its sales. The volume of duplicates to be received is the result of two basic factors: (a) amount of term sales; and (b) time granted to customers for payment. The terms of sales in a company comprise the terms granted to customers, the discounts granted for cash payment, and the instruments for formalizing the term sale. (SILVA, 2005, p.279).
3.6.13 AVERAGE PAYMENT TERM FOR PURCHASES
Formula: Suppliers / purchases x 360
According to Silva (2005, p.281) “The average payment period for purchases indicates how many days, on average, the company takes to pay its suppliers.”
3.6.14 AVERAGE TIME OF RENEWAL OF INVENTORIES
Formula: Inventories / Average cost of sale x 360
The average time frame of inventory rotation indicates how many days, on average, the products are stored in the company before they are sold. The volume of inventories maintained by a company stems fundamentally from its sales volume and storage policy. (SILVA, 2005, p.277).
3.6.15 OPERATING CYCLE
This figure shows the natural sequence of the operational phases of the company, defined by operational cycle, starting with the purchase of materials that will be directly or indirectly used and leading to the collection of sales.
This indicator shows the purchase and receipt of the sale.
Formula: PMRV + PMRE
