Financial Report.

 Conduct a financial ratio analysis (for at least the past two years) and write a report using the latest Annual Report to assess the performance of a major UK company of your choice from the FTSE250 Index companies and give advice to an investor based on their findings. Relevant extracts from the annual report should be submitted with your written assignment such as chairman’s statement, management report, income statement, statement of financial position and statement of cash flow statement with notes to the accounts where appropriate. Read the company’s latest Annual Report (2017 or 2018 accounts if available). Consider the following questions when writing a report which should analyse the financial reports and providing recommendations for the investor regarding what his or her best course of action would be with respect to that company’s shares. The investor may already hold the shares or may be considering buying shares in the company. REQUIRED 1. Evaluate the business performance position based on the ratios you have identified as being relevant or significant.Calculate a comprehensive set of ratios for at least two years for your given company (anything less than 20 sets of ratios is not enough). You should take the current state of global financial situation and economy into account in your discussion. (The calculations of your ratios should be in a separate table which MUST be submitted with your written assignment, including formulas!). 2. Aerts and Walton (2017) argue that ratio analysis provides a useful tool for evaluating organisational performance. Drawing from the relevant literature, critically evaluate the above statement. 3. The report should be written clearly, presented neatly and effectively and have appropriate subsections (i.e. executive summary, main body, conclusion, references, appendices, etc.).
