The Balanced Scorecard identifies internal as well as external factors which would help an organization maintain a sustainable growth rate. The Balanced Scorecard measure of an entity would always strive to provide the concerned management about the widest and comprehensive measurement of the way the business is done.
And thus it serves as a tool to improve the concerned operations. The BSC methodology uses both financial and non-financial measures to understand the business processes and thus helps to strategies further in the achievement of goals. But as believed by a few it’s not a replacement strategy for financial records(DeBusk, 2006).
No it is not true. Balanced scorecard would never replace the actual financial statements. And it is not exactly theoretical either.
