Do You Need FIN600 Financial Management Assignment Help??

Context 

The purpose of the assignment is to provide you with the opportunity to apply the  knowledge and skills acquired in FIN600 Financial Management, to a practical task, involving  the use of ‘real‐world’ accounting information. This is intended to consolidate your  accounting knowledge and skills. 

Instructions 

The basic requirement is to undertake a general financial analysis, comparing financial  position and performance over the two most recent financial years, of an ASX listed  company. Your Learning Facilitator will provide the details of the ASX listed company. 

The annual report for the chosen company should be available on the company website and/or will be provided by your Learning Facilitator. 

Note: Assessment 2 submissions based on the incorrect company or a company not  chosen by the Facilitator will be regarded as a Non-Submission and no grade will be  allocated.  

Non-Submissions of Assessment 2 will prohibit a Supplementary assessment for the  student. 

The analysis should consider each of the following financial ratios:  

• profitability and market performance 
• efficiency, 
• liquidity,  
• capital structure 

Note: Please use the ‘consolidated’ data in conducting your analysis. You are only required to look at the most recent financial report. For those ratios which  involve averages, you will calculate an average for the most recent year only, the prior  year ratio calculation will NOT consider average calculations.

This assignment will contain two elements: 

Schedule(s) of relevant ratios and other useful calculations 

• The detailed calculation of relevant ratios and other useful calculations should be  included, as one appendix, prepared using Excel. An example template is provided  under the assessment 2 information, FIN600 Assessment 2 Appendix template.xls. 
• You will be advised by your facilitator as to which ratios to calculate. – You are advised to show the formulae used in determining particular ratios and  other figures.  

A written report 

The written report is the main element of this assessment. A sample template is  provided under the assessment 2 information, FIN600 Assessment 2 report  template.doc. 

The written report should: 

• Explain what is revealed by the ratios and other calculations, in the context of the  company’s profitability, asset efficiency, liquidity, capital structure, and market  performance.  
•  In particular, any important changes over the two financial years should be  identified, discussed and, where possible, explained. 
• Provide an overall assessment of whether the company, over the recent financial  year, has been better than the previous financial year, in the perspective of existing  equity investors (shareholders). 

In preparing this report, students should:  

• analyse the financial statements of the business; 
•  identify key ratios and apply ratio analysis; 
•  argue the case of why the organisation may or may not succeed in the future and what the business should be doing to help it succeed;  
•  consider the impact of the political and competitive environment on the business;  – include external factors that need to be taken into consideration   and the likelihood  of a merger or acquisition;  
•  provide a recommendation, that is, would you invest in this company after your own  analysis or under what circumstances would you buy/save the   business?

The assignment is to comply with the University’s General Guide for the Presentation of  Academic Work. Please see more information here:

Points to consider 

1. You are encouraged to seek and use additional public information about the  company from sources, other than the annual report (for example, the internet,  journal articles, newspapers, and business magazines).  
2. However, it is NOT envisaged that you will be engaged in extensive research of  this nature and it is expected that the annual report will be the primary resource  relied upon, in completing the assignment. 

iii. You are asked NOT to try and make direct personal contact with the company or  its officers (for example by telephone, fax, letter or email), in an attempt to  gather further information. 

1. It is important to note that you must NOT reproduce company promotional  material from the annual report or company website and represent it as critical  analysis.  
2. You will be provided relevant share price data for the company by your facilitator  so that investment ratios (such as a price earnings ratio) can be calculated. 
3. You may find it useful to consult accounting references, in addition to the  prescribed text, which deals with the analysis and interpretation of company  financial reports. 

vii. As this is a Masters-level subject, students are expected to engage with high  quality credible resources (eg. academic journal articles) to support and  develop arguments and position statements, using the Torrens University  Library: References to ‘Wikipedia’ or similar  unsubstantiated sources will not be accepted.  

viii. It is essential that you use the appropriate APA 6th referencing style, for  citing and referencing research. The assignment is to include in-text  citations and a reference list following the appropriate APA 6th referencing  style. Please see more information on referencing here:  https://library.torrens.edu.au/academicskills/apa/tool
