    Hello,

    Can anyone advise how should the financial statements for the three years be included in appendices please. Do we scan the income statement, the cash flow, the financial statement for each year and same for the competitor?
    Seems a lot of pages to me in appendices if it has to be done that way.

    Any help will be much appreciated.

    Hi smoke,

    So just to confirm, I can retype the BS and IS in excel and in the same excel do my ratio calculations, graphs etc… So that would give me about 7 sheets (OBU said that each sheet is one page) i.e. 7 pages.

    So what do I do with the other 400 pages of financial statements (2 companies, 3 years, 70 pages each FS)?

    The BSC pack says that we must include appropriate FS extracts (which are ALL since we analyse the performance of the whole company, not just…say….trade receivables) and then it is said that 8 pages of Appendices is max allowed??

    Do I attach the whole statements or is the excel enough? What did you do?

    I mean, I cant even fit the extracted BS and IS in 8 pages for two companies???

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Thx.

    @rizu

    Remember one of 7 assessment criteria of a research report is to demonstrate your IT skills. So, you need to prepare it on excel the statements you have used in RR. If you have used SOCIE and SOCF you need to present it with RR. So by using MS Word, MS PowerPoint and MS Excel you will demonstrate IT skills more compared if you only use two MS Tools. Further, their is no rule of reference numbers. You need to refer all the facts and figures you are stating which you can not or you do not have authority to say on you own example: Inflation rates. tax rates, mission of a company etc. While reviewing your RR, think of where you lack reference for anything on which a marker would say that how he/she can write it on his/her own.

    Thank You.

    @Hammad

    Does this mean that I do not have to make an appendix with the financial statements in .pdf format as I have retyped them in the excel sheet?
