Hi,
In reference to the Presentation slides, do we need to reference the images and charts that go in it?
1) Thank you
2) Thank you again and
3) Thank you very much.Thanks for your reply trphena. What about the appendix? Do they need to be a part of the RAP or they can be uploaded separate too? If so then do we need to include them in the table if contents?
Hi,
I have a few questions
1) Since list of references and appendix are not included in word count should I make them in a separate ms word document or should I keep adding them in the same document as the RR?
2) if I create a separate document for them then how do I put them in the table of contents?
Please help
Hey,
Thanks for your reply. I have another couple queries
1) To calculate ratios like P/E ratio, I need EPS and market value of shares. The EPS can be found on annual reports but the market value of shares are not given. P/E ratio itself can be found in the annual reports of the company. Can I simply take the ratio from the annual report and use in my ratio table? If i do this , I am not calculating but simply stating with reference to the annual reports. Is that acceptable?
2) how do I reference the ratio table on the spreadsheet? I would have to reference all the relevant annual reports from the last three years relating to both the companies. Along with them I would reference a couple more website database. Do I put citations in a cell? How should I reference the table?
I am preparing my ratio table for the two companies on excel. On this I have two separate sheet tabs for the companies. I have included extracts from SOFP and SOCI and then used excel formulae to generate ratios. Both the companies are very much comparable. They are both prepared on similar basis. Few queries I have in regards to this.
1) since I have used excel formulae do I still have to separately show ratio formulae, next to the ratios in words, eg.(Current ratio = C.A/C.L?)
2) most of the ratios that I calculated do match but some of the ratios are close but not exactly the same as published on the annual reports/other sources. Strangely some of the ratios on the annual reports don’t even match the ratios calculated by other reliable sources, eg.Stock exchange websites. I am really confused because I don’t know which number is right?
In the exams we were if we were asked to calculate current ratio, we would divide C.A by C.L. Here if I pick up those figures from the financial statements and apply the same formula , the numbers don’t match because SOFP and SOCI both have notes along. When I follow the notes, 10-12 more numbers come into play which I have no clue about. I don’t know if I should add or substract from the figures on financial statements.
Please help, I am going absolutely cuckoo.
@ trephena
Hi,
1). Is it necessary to draft the financial statements in excel then convert to PDF( as an evidence of using spreadsheet) or can I save the PDF pages directly from the annual reports that show the financial statements?
2). On the annual reports there are several pages of notes following the financial statements. Are they suppose to be included along?
3). Is it ok to save the ratio analysis page in the annual report along with the corresponding statements or should that be saved separately?
Please advice,
Thank you.@trephena
Thank you for answering my query. I have another one to ask you.
The annual reports of the company that I am focusing on Is providing a consolidated and a non consolidated form of financial statements. So is the comparator company’s annual report. I am not sure which to base my analysis on. Please advice.The annual reports of the company that I am focusing on Is providing a consolidated and a non consolidated form of financial statements.

A.Haque.Thank you for writing. I have already tried different browsers and even tried saving it . None of them work. No matter which browser I use, a black page opens when I click the download docket link. When I save it , the file cannot be opened .
Worst scenario, if I don’t get to print it before entering the exam hall. Would I still be allowed to sit in the exams?
Please advise.
