The student will post one thread of at least 400 words .
Choose a publicly traded company that begins with the same letter as your last name(E). Using either the Security and Exchange Commission’s (SEC’s) Edgar Database, or by going directly to your chosen company’s website, download the company’s annual report. Review the information contained within the annual report (10k), paying particular attention to the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. How important do the financial statements appear to be with regard to the annual report? Are the financial statements mentioned in the management discussion? Do the financial statements provide enough information to potential investors? Is too much information given to competitors who may also be reviewing the financial statements? Explain the significance of the financial statements within the annual report. In your replies, compare your company with your classmates’ and discuss the similarities or differences between your chosen companies.
