4) Analyse and evaluate the business and financial performance of an organisation which has performed exceptionally poorly over a three-year period with a critical analysis of the reasons for its difficulties.
The poor performance must not be entirely related to Covid19 and must have become evident within the last 3 years. Your analysis may find that Covid19 contributed to already poor performance. An analysis that relies solely on the impact of Covid19 will not have sufficient depth to secure a pass.
Publicly available information must be used
You must justify the choice of organisation and justify why you consider the performance exceptionally poor. Successful research reports will demonstrate a clear understanding of the industry sector and its competitive pressures.
A comparison to another organisation, or to the industry sector averages, is required.Ideally yes. It is preferable if the main and comparator company is publicly listed because more information will be available in the internet. Also check if the company publishes annual reports and that it has published the latest annual report for their prior financial year. This will be useful when analysing ratios and also help you to have a clear understanding about a company’s business model.
