Using Time Series Analysis to Evaluate Company Efficiency

The thesis focuses on assessing economic health of Agro Zvole, a.s. company, operating in the agricultural sector, producing plant and animal production. For objective evaluation of economic performance financial analysis indicators are used, to also work with statistics, represented by timeline analysis technique. Both previous numerical procedures (methodology) are based on company financial statements for each fiscal period. To be specific, individual indicators of financial analysis from the financial statements (profit and loss account and balance sheet) are calculated for each fiscal period and these are then aligned using time lines and future trends prediction (development). The individual results are accompanied by commentaries. To create the right comments, resulting from arithmetic operations, it is useful to compare individual results with management of other corporate entities within a single sector of the economy and their respective area. That is why other agricultural companies from former Žďár nad Sázavou district are included in the research as they follow: Agria Ujčov, a.s., Bobrovská, a.s. and Bohuňov Company, a.s. Previous research conclusions based on results of comparing the management of Agro Zvole, a.s. with managements of other companies are used to discover gaps of Agro Zvole, a.s. management. Next section of the thesis is devoted to model my own proposals to eliminate or at least alleviate problematic conditions in the company's performance. It is important to find mistakes, but more importantly find a way to eliminate them. In conclusion, the thesis summarizes the results of each part of the work and its benefits are outlined for the referenced entity
