    @faysalrahaman so you mean to say that i can take un audited financial data of comparator . from 1st april 2016 to 31st dec 2016 ? the main company data is audited but it is consolidated . i am trying my level best to acquire unconsolidated data of main company. otherwise i will be having a very tough time. :/

Main company year end is 31st December. can i take the financial statement of main company from the year 2013 to 2015 , because my comparetor has un audited financial data for nine months period to 31st december 2016. will that be ok ?

    should i do pro rata calculation for company B in order to align with company A’s year end ? for eg for the year 2014 – i will take company B’s 3 months from 31st march 2014 ending and rest 9 months from 31st march 2015 ending . total 12 months adjusted according to company A . is that the right way ?

    hello

    I am planning to submit my RAP for this may submission. i have chosen topic 8 mobile telecommunications . Both companies have different year endings

    Main company A – December 31
    Competitor company B – March 31

    Should i be doing pro rata in order to analyse the financial data . or any other suggestion ?

    Also for Company B – from April 2016 to December 2016 – un- audited financial statements have been produced on its website. but i cant take un – audited as this cant be accurate.

    Company A has consolidated financial statements where as company B has Single entity FS. i have tried searching for unconsolidated statements but i am not able to have access. in such a case what should i do ? @Hammad Ahmed Qureshi – OBU Registered Mentor

    Regards

    also it doesn’t mention an E book option . it doesn’t add [online] when i cite a book which has digital print. for egg i cited BPP text of F7 , online , but it doesn’t mention an e book option. so i cited it as a book and mentioned the chapter number and also the page numbers. should i manually add [online] in my reference list or bibliography.?
    i have cited the reference as (BPP LEARNING MEDIA 2017)

    for example i have cited from a website of Vodafone. so i have kept the author as http://www.vodafone.qa . therefore the citation comes as (Vodafone 2017) . but is it necessary that it should be this way – (Vodafone,2017). so should i manually add comma in between .?
