In Google, type in: Amazon.com, Inc. - Annual reports, proxies and shareholder Upon opening this link, you will have access to a tremendous amount of information covering Amazon, including the companys 2019 annual report and 2019 letter to shareholders from Mr. Bezos.

Invest time reviewing/going through the 2019 annual report, and prepare a summary list noting areaswithin the report, where the accounting items listed on the next page have been reported and/or disclosed. Indicate their dollar amounts when applicable.

List as many areas as you can, therefore, its important that you spend time going through the entire annual report document.

When I say the entire document, it is very lengthy, therefore I do not mean you are required to read it word for word. Instead, you should spend time going through it, diving a little deeper into areas that catch your attention.

This is intended be a fun and informative project by having you step away from your textbook and see firsthand, the amazing amount of financial information and disclosures required by a real-world company -- publicly owned and traded in the highly regulated stock market.

You will receive 25 add back points by demonstrating from your written comments and observations, that you took the time to dive into to the annual report document. The whole idea here, is to get you out of the textbook for a short-time and into a real-world companys financial matters.

Although not required, if you have the desire, expand beyond the annual report document and learn more about the company and the differing opinions Wall Street analysts have when it comes to Amazon.

And to top it off, it has a 25 point add back value.
