With the help of scatter diagrams (so-called scatterplots), the relationship between two characteristics can be graphically represented (e.g. connection between the founding year and the balance sheet total). For the two axes, various characteristics are available, which can be combined as desired. Each point in the diagram corresponds to an organization.
Year of incorporation: Year of establishment of the respective organisation
Balance sheet total: The balance sheet total corresponds to the assets (asset side) or the sum of debt, fund capital and organizational capital (passive side) of a balance sheet as at the balance sheet date.
Operating expenses: The operating expenses comprise all expenses arising from the operational activities of an organisation during the financial year and correspond to the sum of project expenses, administrative expenses and expenses for fundraising.
Share of liquid assets: Percentage of funds immediately available in total assets (active side)
Real estate share: Percentage of real estate (buildings and real estate) in total assets (active side)
Share of debt capital: Percentage of debt capital (short and long-term debt capital) in total capital (passive side)
Share of donations: Percentage of donations in operating income
Share of public sector: Percentage of contributions from the public authorities (municipalities, cantons and federal government) in operating income
Share of income from goods and services: Percentage of income from the sale of goods or services in operating income
