For this assessment, imagine you are a financial analyst working for the director of finance at the publicly
traded company that you selected earlier in the course.
Your role is to evaluate the company’s financial performance, as reported in its financial statements over
a three-year period, using the analytical techniques you
have learned. Based on your findings, you will prepare a financial statement analysis report for the
director, supported by appropriate indicators and analytical
tools, which lays out the current situation and suggests ways to improve company performance. Because
the director also wants to make sure the company is
attractive to potential outside investors, s/he has also asked you to review the statements with an eye as to
how those investors would view the company
