According to ACCA, the survey report provides an in-depth analysis of the profitability and balance sheet management factors of its member companies. Companies can use the benchmarking survey results to compare their own company's performance and possibly identify problem areas.

The report includes statistics of financial ratios according to sales, business type, and operations, as well as specific geographic location. It also provides information on the types of companies participating in the survey, highlighting the form of business entities surveyed and the nature of accounting methods used by these companies in their daily operations.

In addition, the report contrasts the current data with information gathered by ACCA 10 years ago and gives a brief analysis on the changes and trends since that time.
