Need help on this project below:

Undertake your own research to obtain an organization's annual report. You can use one from an organization with which you are familiar or one which is freely

available on the internet or from ASIC (Australian Securities & Investments Commission). Alternately, your trainer/assessor might provide you with one.

Prepare a report (3-5pages) answering these questions:

1. To whom is this report disseminated and how dose this take place?

2. Why might these recipients need or want the information contained in the annual report?

3. What information is contained in the report? Describe the contents and explain what it disclosed about the organization's financial activities during the year

4. Is there any evidence that those within the organization used consolidation or conversion procedures to analyze the financial data which was available?

5. Has the organization disclosed any asset or liability valuations? If so, what do they indicate?

6. Is there any indication of any discrepancies, unusual features of queries about the financial data? Describe.

7. Dose it appear that the organization claimed all available benefits and allowances? Explain.

8. Did the organization record details of its income and expenditure? Is evidence provided? Provide details.

9. Examine the financial summaries for information about the financial status of the organization. Did the organization show profit?

10. What sorts of recommendations are made and what suggestions are made regarding business activities for the upcoming year? Are they constructive?

11. Is the report and any recommendation clear and logical?

12. Has the organization complied with its statutory requirements? Explain.
