    Hi All, about to start preparing my RAP and wondering if I need to use 2 other similar companies as benchmarks or just 1? Say my report is on company A, do I need to compare it to 2 similar companies, company B and company C? Or do I just need 1, company B?

    Dear Chia,

    It depends on your approach, if you want to tale two companies then compare key ratios for one year of each company with subject company otherwise compare one company’s 3 years key ratios to subject company over a three year period.

    Thank You.

    Hello!
    Ref: Topic 8

    Will I be penalised if my target organisation (YE 31Dec12) has different year end than benchmark (YE31Mar12)?

    Thanks
    AJ

    No. Have seen pass raps with this much difference and even no note given. My self doing rap with this much difference in year end. thinking whether to insert note or just submit it like this.

    Hi, like to check if it is sufficient to provide only the last FY for benchmarking analysis as both organisations have difference FY. Appreciate all advices. Thanks.
