SEC 10-K Paper

You will be requested that select an organization that is publically exchanged. You should explore and secure the SEC 10-K Annual Report for the latest year. This is frequently accessible at the organization site. Search for "Speculator Information" or "Organization Information". Save the record to your PC for access. There is no compelling reason to print as the report is normally 100 pages or more.

Post the name of your organization in the SEC 10-K organization for my endorsement in the week 1 Discussion.

Every understudy must choose an alternate organization so read the organization names chose by cohorts.

You will utilize this organization for examination in the dialogs amid the semester.

You will write a 11 - 13 page paper, single spaced, one inch margins, 12 pt font, with double space between paragraphs. Your paper should comment on the financial statements for your company as they relate to the information presented in chapters 1-10 of your textbook, including the notes to the financial statements. ** Use headings in your paper such as Accounts Receivable and Inventory (topics from our textbook; other examples would be Balance Sheet and Income Statement). The report will be submitted after Chapter 10. Do not consider information from Ch 11 - 26 in your paper.

Take care to avoid academic dishonesty. Write your paper, read it, and edit. Use your own words - you will be required to use TurnItIn.com which will indicate similarities to other sources.

Please include a brief introduction of your company as well as a conclusion/summary at the end.

You will also be required to include the Income Statement and Balance Sheet as an attachment to your report (you can cut and paste directly from the 10-K report).
