MFR Assessment – Tasks
You must choose a UK based Plc. Company from the FAME database and a competitor Plc. in the same business sector to compare financial performance of both companies . We advise that you use 6 ratios of your choice over the last 5 financial years to measure the financial performance section of your company against its competitor company.
You should monitor business performance & review any changes in accounting conventions impacting on corporate performance. All groups should keep records of share price movements and keep abreast of national and international business news to explain any impact on capital & financial markets reflected through share prices and perceived performance of these organisations.
It is imperative that students ensure that their reports are underpinned by theoretical principles and concepts that you have learned during your weekly learning activities and wider independent study. All evidence e.g. graphs, news reports, bulletins, financial reporting exposure drafts etc. should be analysed and evaluated to underpin the report.
Students should make use of tables & graphs etc. to present complex data/information and ensure that the report is written in a professional way. This is especially important as students will be expected to benchmark their chosen company against a competitor company.
The report should be circa 3,000 – 3500 words.
Referencing should be using the Harvard style of referencing
Although you can learn from the structure and content layout of these previous coursework assessments on no account must you copy directly from this piece of work into your own assignment, otherwise it will be deemed as plagiarism.
