perform an analysis of the financial statements for A2 Milk Company
The individual assignment is designed for students to demonstrate and apply the knowledge and skills covered in lectures/tutorials to a real-world financial analysis scenario.
Each student will be required to perform an analysis of the financial statements for one of the three listed Australian companies that will be randomly assigned through Canvas. These companies are:
⦁ A2 Milk Company (ASX code: A2M)
⦁ Coles Group (ASX code: COL)
⦁ Coca-Cola Amatil (ASX code: CCL)
You will then collect information through public sources in order to critically evaluate the financial performance/position of a company in addition to using the restated financial information in the templates for each company provided on Canvas. Students will be assessed on their ability to formulate an understanding of an entity’s operations using information obtained from completion of the mid-semester assessment and how this is reflected through their financial statements. To succeed in this component, students need to demonstrate their ability to:
⦁ Locate and collect financial and operational information of a company.
⦁ Use pro-forma financial statements of the company to complete a financial analysis template
⦁ Use financial statement information to assess the performance of the company
⦁ Draw insights through analysis of financial ratios to arrive at conclusions on the financial position/performance of the company
⦁ Make simple projections of key financial information
