    When performing analysis and evaluation,there are some comments made by management regarding what is affecting the figures,can that be sufficient or you havetodo further analysis outside the management commentary provided.

    Thank you

    Hi, Comments from management should be a starting point. You need to do further research from third party sources (other than company sources) in your analysis.
    Let me know if you have further queries. Cheers!

    You need to calculate ratios yourself in excel and attach the excel sheet as an appendix. This will demonstrate IT skills, else you will fail your project.

    As I said commentary should be the starting point, you need to look into third party sources as management commentry can be biased.

    If you have selected a listed and a popular organisation, you should be able to find information from third party sources. You may have to read various news, articles etc
