Write an executive summary and conclusion.

This section should provide a brief context for your financial statement analysis and a summary of your principal findings.

a) Provide a brief context for the company that helps situate it in the larger business environment. Be sure to explain how this context impacts financial statement analysis. For example, how large is the company? What industry is it in? What companies are its major competitors? What trends or recent events might affect company or industry performance? How might these things be reflected in financial statements?

b) Summarize key findings and recommendations from your analysis clearly and concisely. For example, what does your analysis suggest regarding internal changes? Would outside investors find your company attractive?
