How well do you need to understand the three financial statements?

I understand the basics of the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement, but I still struggle with how they're connected. How deeply is this usually tested during interviews?

Know deeply how they are connected.

I wouldn’t worry too much about memorizing everything. I’d just make sure you understand how the three statements connect and can explain it with a simple example. That should give you a good starting point for the interview.
