Analysis of financial affairs

Explanation:
You could say ¨conditions¨ or, even, ¨state¨, but I would say, ¨financial affairs¨.
OR, Simply, ¨Financial Analysis¨.

Business Analysis

Explanation:
this could be used; although I agree with analysis of financial statements as it literally reads. 'Etat' is this case is a statement - although within a company it would be more common to refer to:
