Hello All,
Just sent my project last night! Feeling so relieved! I think it is fair to recognise Theprena for all the hard work she has put into this forum to help us with our project over the past few months. Theprena, without people like you that give one of the most precious things these days ( time) this forum and the great help would not exist! Thank you so much and God bless you. Just hope we will be all successful in Marsh! Till then, take care!
AmarainHello,
Hope you can help. When we have to put the URL in the references is just the name of the website with the http:\ or do we have to put the exact link, i.e. the long link to find exactly what we are referencing it?
And if I douwnloaded a pdf from a website do I put the long list to find the pdf or not?
Many thanks in advance
AmarainPS: Threphena many thanks for your answer yesterday!
Hi,
I have a very important question please!
If Ihave let’s say XYZ,2014 cited for the Fin Stat and then I am citing as well something from their website so again XYZ,2014. Am I right to cite “a” on the first and “b” on the second to distinguish them? Many thanks
AmarainHello,

Thanks
AmarainHi,
Can I copy the same graphs I have in my RAP onto the presentation or do I have to do something different? Thanks

AmarainHi Threpena,
Hope you can help please.
1)Not sure if it is the stress but still unclear on how to reference a graph. Can I out at the botom (Source: Appendix 1) and that is?. An then when comenting the numbers I do not have to mention the source again (i.e.Appendix or FS)?2)Also, in the appendix do I have to put sources: (ABC, 2011, ABC,2012.. or ABC Financial statement 2011…)
3)If in my appendix I have copied the relevant figures from the FS,then I do not need to upload the relevant FS pages, is that correct? Otherwise it would take more than the 8 pages allowed.
Thanks a lot
AmarainHi,
Please help!!!! When calculating interest cover using the simple formula of operating profits/finance costs for one company I get a negative one because they had am lot of exceptional one off items so they made an adjustments. The other company uses underlying profits … If I have to compare pears with pears then I have to go with the negative one…the other option is starting from scratch on both companies and trying to calculate a underlying profit for both of them but that would take me ages!!! What can I do?many thanks! starting to panic!!!!
AmaranHi Trephena,
Hope you can help once again please. If we have a figure for average industry in FS (i.e. Kantar) can we cite it as (Kantar cited… bla,bla,bla?) As I cannot find the exact figure in Kantar as they have up to date info on their website. Many thanks
AmarainHi,

Hi,
I have two questions about referencing please:
1) When referencing tables do I have to put the three Annual statements for each of the companies? i.e: ABC,2011; ABC 2012,… and XPY,2011; XPY 2013.
2) Once I have referenced the graph and start comenting it If I say EPS was 34pence do I have to put 34pence (ABC 2013) again?
Many thanksKind Regards
AmarainHi,
I have read somewhere that if using CEO strategic report (from FS) can put CEO,2013 for instance. I though that when we are citing we have to use the author (a single person or a corporation). As financial statements are prepared by the “company” as such should not we use the company name when citing and then on the reference list specify the CEO, company or whatever? I’m confused!Thanks!Kind Regards
AmarainHello,
I want to paste my tables and graphs as pictures. Does this mean that I have to count the words first in order to comply with the required word count limit?
Many thanks
Kind Regards
AmarainMany thanks Trephena,
But what do you mean when you say “avoid a texbook approach” could you please expand further on this? Many thanks
AmarainHello,
I am becoming a bit paranoid about the referencing. For example when explaining PESTEL if I only use one book and then put according to BPP bla bla bla and tell about PESTEL is not too much? On the other hand if I use two books one for Politica another for Social etc.. at the end of this sentence do I have to repeat the same book again just to make sure the marker don’t think I am doing plagiarism? Please help! Thanks
Kind Regards
AmarainHi trephena,
You are right! Sorry about that! Consequences of a very demanding job and long hours in the office! Many thanks for your answer and for your patience, God bless you!
AmarainHello All,
When applying PESTLE or 5 Forces for example, can I mention things that have happened for the past three years or only the final year of my analysis? Many thanks
AmarainHi Trephena,
hope you can help please. In Part 2, when explaining the ratios can I cite the same book e.g BPP as reference or should I use several books? In essence all books would say the say regarding what the ratios means but on the other hand having let’s say 10-12 ratios explained with the BPP next to it…does it look good? Many thanksKind Regards
AmarainPS: Sorry not sure if I’ve posted this in the right topic
Hi,
Hope you can help on the below please.
When doing the business models, e.g SWOT… do I just refer to the last year of the analysis as I believe this is an snapshot in time or do I have to mention what has happened in the past 3 years (analysis period)? Many thanks
AmarainHi,
When referencing Financial Statements (several times) do we have to specify the pages or not? Thanks
