Dear @trephena,
I have chosen topic 8 for my RAP and I had some confusion I wanted to be cleared regarding excel sheet.
1. Can I copy word to word all Financial Statements directly from Annual Reports?
2. Is there any recommended format I should use? I have wrote both company 3 year data side by side on 1 sheet and since both companies have little differences in the way they published their statements I tried to put comparator data in same format as the main company, will that result in any problem?
Thank you.
1. That would be fine for the Excel spreadsheet
2. No recommended format as such -you may put them side by side or have a separate sheet for each.
When doing your analysis in the report either have a joint graph or have graphs side by side and make comparisons. Analysis should be strengthened by linking the reason for changes in the trends to the business analysis (PEST and SWOT) as much as possible. A common error is to do the analyses of both companies in total isolation from each other
First of all thank you Trephena for answering my previous question.
I have another question regarding the reporting date. The company I have chosen has Year end March so I am writing till March 2020. But I wanted to ask if I can include events after that period in my analysis such as Covid-19. Can I use it in both financial and business analysis in topic 8?
Also I am sorry, I did read something about this earlier but I was unable to find it again when I tried to search now.
