...METHODS OF FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Dorothy E Vincent-Greene ACC 281 Accounting Concepts for Health Care Professionals Professor James Bell 26 MAY 2014 The process of restating and summarizing data by establishing ratios and trends is known as a financial analysis.

...Title Uranium mining – is this a solid investment? Name | Genevieve O’Reilly | Student ID # | A001529414 | Subject | Financial Management | Subject Code | 712FMGT | AQF Level | 8 | Subject Credit Points | 10 | Word Count | 2103 | Executive summary The paper attempts to analyse and compare two listed companies who produce uranium oxide and what would be the best company to invest in. As the companies have different year ends, the 2014 annual financial statements were used to draw comparisons and analyses. The industry itself does not have a trend analysis on which to draw as many uranium producers are owned by companies with large portfolios. The limitations to this paper are noted in that investors should not make assumptions based on just a two-year comparison, especially within a market that has proven to be volatile and subject to small variations. Assignment topic Your task is to compare and contrast the historical (for the last 2 years) and expected future performance of a listed company and a competitor in a similar line of business, and present your findings in the form of a report which will cover both qualitative and quantitative performance elements in a logical cohesive format.

...WRITING A FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS REPORT FOR A POTENTIAL USER The financial analyst should research, analyse and evaluate the company’s consolidated financial results. He/she should then compare such analysis and evaluation with that of a competitor or more working in the same industry group. The competitor should have the similar size (measured by total assets, sales turnover, number of employees, and/or capital employed) of the main company. The competitor should also have the same legal form as that of the main company (e.g. both companies should be Public Limited Company). It is essential that a financial analyst should write out a well-organised and structured financial statements analysis report in an appropriate format and style to an identified user of accounting information, using headings and sub-headings to indicate topics discussed. This report should include the key groups of ratios, and identify the key issues, explanations, and main findings obtained from the calculated ratios, horizontal and vertical analyses, and other sources of information. Then, the analyst should come to appropriate conclusions, implications, limitations, and recommendations. A suggested approach to write a good report is demonstrated below. I. Abstract * Report Objective; * Main Findings. II. Summary of the Basic Company Information Before looking at any of the different analysis techniques, it is good to spend some time doing a little bit of background research...
