Financial statements are reports that summarize all the accounting transactions that have taken place during a specific period of time.
Choose a publicly held company and using the Internet, review its most current annual report. Evaluate the health of the corporation you picked based upon your analysis of its financial statements: balance sheets; income statements; cash flow statements; and statements of shareholders’ equity. Then, research a similar sized competitor for comparison.
