Financial Analysis and Company Management Choose freely one company from the Morningstar database (http://financials.morningstar.com/)
and produce a financial analysis of the chosen company’s latest five years. The analysis is expected to illuminate the following characteristics of the company:
- Growing?
- Financially strong?
- Liquid?
- Profitable? There isn’t just one best method for evaluating business performance. Every business may differ slightly in operation, environment, and methodology, which leaves many trial and error opportunities. Financial statement analysis provides a primary foundation for evaluating business performance and adapts to every business. All owners and managers should be skilled in analyzing financial statements to understand the impact business decisions will have on the organization.
