Multidimensional corporate analysis: analytical and graphical approaches

The internal auditing activities in a public or private firm are fundamental in order to measure the performances and represent these through the use of indexes (usually coming from ratio analysis), tables and graphs that synthesize the financial, economic and corporate aspects of the firm life and development. Let consider the values of the fundamental elements taken from successive balance sheets, during n years where every couple of values used for the index calculation, can be represented, from a geometrical point of view, with a point in the bi-dimensional space and the ordered set of n points provides the representation of the corporate performance according to the variation of the temporal variable t.
