What Weekly Sparklines Could Add to Financial Statements

"Big data" and "visual displays" are currently hot topics in accounting. We present a way of depicting weekly financial statement data in a user-friendly format, using the sparkline feature in Excel. By embedding sparklines in traditional income statements, balance sheets and cash flow statements, we expand the data presented more than 50-fold. Users are better able to understand trends and seasonal patterns, and to detect unusual items and anomalies. Such displays could be useful in budgeting, in performing management reviews of operations, to auditors, and to outside users
