It involves the use of different measures to collect and report information regarding the performance of an individual, groups or organization.

The financial statements of the breweries were critically analysed using financial ratio broadly classified into 3 main groups. Loan safety ratios, management efficiency ratios and profitability ratios. With the simple reason that most business ventures are set with the main aim of making profit, the study made its conclusion based on profitability. The finding shows that Nigeria Breweries Plc is more financially healthy than the other breweries, followed by Guiness Nigeria Plc.
