Annual Report Project Assignment
For this assignment, combine your Annual Report Project from Weeks 1 and 3, along with the following additional requirements:
- Calculate the Current, Debt/Equity, and Inventory Turnover ratios for the company you have chosen.
- Locate a competitor that is involved in the same business as your chosen company. Provide an analysis of the same ratios calculated above. What do these ratios tell you? Is the company you have chosen performing better or worse based upon these ratios?
- Compare and contrast the GAAP, IFRS, and tax issues that your chosen company and the competitor face.
- Read the article, “A Blueprint for Digital Companies’ Financial Reporting,” provided in the study materials. Discuss any “drivers” that may apply to your company and where that information should be disclosed to investors.
- Provide an investment recommendation that examines whether your company is a good investment decision.
Create a Word document that summarizes your written commentary from Week 1 and above, and an Excel document that contains the Week 3 work along with the ratios calculated above.
List all resources you used in previous sections of the Annual Report Project, and integrate at least three academic sources into the final summary of your paper.
