Success in the business world requires participants to have a good understanding of how companies perform and be able to link analytically the different areas of business such as marketing with finance and strategy, and operation. This is made possible by examining the various ratios based on the financial statements. Whereas the ability to calculate ratios is important, the real value of ratios lies in the insight that can be gleaned from them. Therefore, the most important aspect – as well as the goal – of this assessment is the interpretation of ratios.
Students are required to produce an 8-page MS Word document to analyze a company of their own choosing, using ratios generated based on financial statements of a firm, as well as reports on the chosen company’s recent business performance, strategic decisions and financing decisions, and provide a detailed analysis taking into consideration the factors that contribute to the success of the company.
One of the challenges of this assignment is that usually in financial statements there will be a lot of details that can be very accounting-wise technical. One way to get around this is to aggregate the details into major categories (e.g. if there are different types of interest expenses, just add them all up to form one single “interest expense”). The idea is to take a step back and focus on the big picture instead of getting bogged down by unnecessary data.
Tables, Equations, and Financial Statements can be included in an appendix – max 2 pages.
