3. despite the obstacles to the proper use of financial ratios, there are helpful suggestions on ways to enhance efficient use of ratio analysis in decision-making. According to Lasher (1997:69,82); “although ratio analysis is a powerful tool, it has some significant shortcomings. Analysis have to be careful not to apply the techniques blindly to any set of statements they come across, due to differences in business and accounting methods.
Hermason et al. (1992:846), “financial analysis relies heavily on informed judgment. Percentages and rations are guides to aid comparison and useful in uncovering potential strengths and weaknesses. However, the financial analysis should seek the basic causes behind and established trends”.

In this regard, Omuya (1983:456), “Interpretation of a change in a ratio needs careful examination of changes in both numerator and denominator. Without very full and detailed investigation some wrong conclusion can as drawn.”
