Financial Accounting Case Requirements

For this project, you will be analyzing the financial statements (contained in the Form 10-K) of a company. You will draw conclusions about the overall health of the company. Your project will culminate in a written paper that details your analysis.

Instructions for finding a Form 10-K

You will need to locate a company's Form 10-K, which is the annual report that publicly-held companies file with the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC). The Form 10-K is usually quite long, exceeding 100 pages in most cases.

The first thing you need to do is find a recent 10-K for a publicly-held company in which you are interested.

To find a Form 10-K, go to http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml#.VOhw6vnF9mX. If you know what company you are interested in, you might also be able to go to that company's Investor Relations website and locate its Form 10-K there. You can also view a short video about how to locate a Form 10-K on the SEC EDGAR site; you can view that video at http://youtu.be/MPgvGua9- RM.

Company Criteria

Select a company to study. The company selected must meet all of the following criteria:

Must be a publicly-held corporation traded on the NYSE or NASDAQ

Must have receivables (trade receivables, accounts receivable, etc.) on the balance sheet

Must have inventory on the balance sheet

Headquartered in the United States

Form 10-K must be from 2022 (or 2021 if 2022 is not yet filed)

Must not be in bankruptcy

Be sure to obtain the Form 10-K for the company selected and make sure each criterion is met prior to making your company selection.

Post the names of your selected companies on the Blackboard discussion board

Post the name of you company on the discussion board on Blackboard. No company can be selected by more than one person - so check the discussion board postings before making your posting. First come, first serve, so the sooner you do this, the better chance that you will get your selection choice. Post your company on the discussion board no later than February 27, 2023.

When you post your company, please be sure to post the company's formal name and ticker symbol. Be sure that your company meets the listed criteria - your overall project grade will be negatively impacted if a company you post does not meet the criteria - and you will need to choose a new company that does meet the criteria.

Check the discussion board to be sure that your company selection has been approved. To see if the company selection has been approved, please go to the discussion board where you posted your initial choices. If you need to select a different company, please post your new selection on the discussion board in Blackboard.

If you cannot find any information in the Form 10-k (which is entirely possible,) go to the company's website and look for information there. Also evaluate recent news articles regarding CSR topics for your company. Summarize your findings.
