Analyze the companys performance relative to the industry average. The average should refer to the same period as the financial statements being analyzed (or as close as possible). Specifically, you should answer:

1. Why is benchmarking important in analyzing financial statements and evaluating a companys overall performance? In other words, does analyzing a specific companys financial statements in isolation provide you with sufficient information for analyzing its overall performance? Why or why not?

2. What do bench marking comparisons tell you about how the selected company is performing relative to industry peers? Support your answer with specific examples from your analysis and industry research.

3. How do your companys financial statements compare to industry standards in terms of legally and ethically communicating necessary information to stakeholders? Justify your response using specific examples and referencing relevant legal and ethical guidelines.

III. Conclusions. Based on your analysis, what overall conclusions would you draw regarding the following questions?

a) Would outside investors find the company attractive as a potential investment? Why or why not? Use examples from your analysis to support your answer.

b) What simple corrective actions might the company take to improve its financial situation? Support your response using your analysis and relevant course information.

c) What legal and ethical considerations does the organization need to consider in implementing these recommendations? How would these affect stakeholders decision making? Support your response referencing relevant legal and ethical guidelines.
