Select a company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and obtain its last two
published annual reports (note that this will provide financial data for a three year
period).
Analyse the financial statements in these annual reports, using the principal ratios
that are discussed in your textbook. You do not need to calculate all of the ratios
listed. Part of the task is to select relevant ratios. Some ratios may be discussed in
the context of explaining trends that are identified by other ratios.
Note that there are very few marks for calculating ratios! The majority of marks are
awarded for the interpretation of the ratios—what are they telling you? Avoid
wasting words on describing the ratios. For example, ‘The decline of the current
ratio from 2.2 to 1.5 (Appendix A item 5) can be explained by reference to … This
suggests that tighter management of … is required’ will earn far more marks than
‘The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities. It
has gone from 2.2 to 1.5. Another solvency ratio is …’
Format:
You should present this assignment as a report with at least one Appendix. A report
format means that it should have headings, and possibly also subheadings. Start the
report with a 40-word summary of the findings of the analysis. The ratios should be
presented in a user-friendly format (i.e. easy to read) in an appendix. In the report
make it clear where the reader can find the ratios. Close the report with conclusions
and recommendations. Recommendations to an internal client will highlight issues for
attention and action; recommendations to an external client should succinctly address
the competitiveness of the company, the strengths and weaknesses of its management
and its attraction for investment.
