Note on references.  Legitimate reference resources include scholarly journals/articles, books, data cited from databases (i.e., U.S. Census), and government reports (i.e., United States General Accountability Office).  You may include personal or telephone interviews with relevant stakeholders.  Citations from Internet sources that are merely web pages constructed by individuals airing their personal views are unacceptable sources.  However, legitimate websites accessing refereed academic journals/reports (i.e., articles published in The Urban Institute, Journal of Urban Affairs, etc.) are legitimate resources. One way to determine if a website is acceptable or not is to ask yourself, “If the Internet did not exist, would I be able to find this article in the university library?” Newspaper or magazine articles may be used for this assignment provided they are in-depth articles on the issue, and not just commentaries or editorials.  

 

Please use American Psychological Association (APA) style guidelines to cite sources in body of your text, and to reference your sources in the bibliography. If you need additional guidance regarding how to construct a research paper, please refer to the link, “citing your sources” on the Oviatt library’s homepage.

This project requires that you conduct a financial analysis of two, comparable organizations. You

 

 

 

may select any organizations that produce publicly available financial statements employing IFRS

 

 

 

or U.S. GAAP (both companies must follow the same GAAP). Let your professor know which two

 

 

 

companies you plan to study before the end of Week 2, as your selection must be approved. The

 

 

 

professor reserves the right to limit the number of students comparing the same two

 

 

 

organizations.

 

 

 

Assignment:

 

 

 

1. Carefully review the annual reports for both organizations. Comment on what approach

 

 

 

 

each company has taken in reporting to its shareholders. (This requirement is purposely

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

broad to give you the freedom to talk about anything that comes under the broad title of

 

 

 

“reporting to shareholders”).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Prepare a ratio analysis for both companies including a trend analysis for three years.

 

 

 

Comment on the significance of the ratios for each company (do they indicate that things

 

 

 

are all right, do they suggest that problems exist, or is it likely that problems will occur in

 

 

 

the future?). Comment specifically on the similarities and differences among the ratios

 

 

 

calculated for both companies and comparison to any benchmark.

 

 

 

 

3. Prepare an analysis of the cash flow statements for both companies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. List and discuss the importance of the two most significant accounting policies adopted

 

 

 

by the two organizations (you should select the same two policies for both organizations).

 

 

 

Explain the options selected by both companies and comment on any differences that

 

 

 

you see. Explain what other policies the organizations could have selected and state why

 

 

 

you think they selected one policy over another.

 

 

 

5. Provide the URL’s for each company’s Annual Report.

 

 

 

Your assignment should adhere to these guidelines:

 

 

 

 

• Write in a logical, well-organized conventional business style. Use Times New Roman

 

 

 

 

 

 

font size 12 or similar, double space, and leave ample white space per page.

 

 

 

 

• All references must follow JWMI style guide and works must be cited appropriately.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check with your professor for any additional instructions on citations.

 

 

 

 

• On the first page or in a header, include the title of the assignment, the student’s name,

 

 

 

 

 

 

the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. Reference pages are not included in

 

 

 

the assignment page length.

 

 

 

 

• Faculty members have discretion to penalize for assignments that do not follow these

 

 

 

 

 

 

guidelines. Check with your individual professor if you feel the assignment r

 

 

 

 

 

much longer or shorter treatment than recommended.
