This Company Analysis project involves a team of students (5-6 in a group) analyzing various aspects of two (2) companies from the same industry, preparing a written analysis, and then presenting their findings and recommendations.

An average person may not even know where to locate a company's financial statements. Even a seasoned business professional may not be able to analyze "raw" financial data and make competent decisions based on that data. This is why even high-level executives rely on specialists in the areas of finance and accounting. Determining the best way to tell a financial story is a critical skill in business.

This project was created in response to the career opportunities available for graduates in the accounting and financial services fields. Upon completion of the written prospectus and presentation, students will be very familiar with the two companies that were analyzed. This project will help students develop the ability to understand, analyze, and make decisions based on financial informationthese skills are essential to every professional business career. Students will also learn how to work effectively as a team.

We chosen there two companies to work on however we are unsure on to proceed with these requirements.

Scenario

1. In this Company Analysis project, place yourselves as the top management for a (fictional) company, who are keen to expand their business in a new industry. Teams are given the task of reviewing annual reports of two companies to decide which would be more preferred for investment.

2. The selection criteria for the two companies being considered are as follows:

Both companies need to be listed in the same stock exchange

Both companies need to have the same fiscal year end

Both companies need to have 5-year financial statements published

Much of the information provided in corporate annual reports and dictated by the regulators of the selected stock exchange (e.g. Malaysia Accounting Standard Board and Securities Commission for Bursa Malaysia). Most regulators require annual reports to disclose four financial statements: a Balance Sheet, a Statement of Cash Flows, an Income Statement and a Statement of Changes in Equity.
