1.Why is it important to demonstrate ethics and professional integrity when performing financial analyses or creating financial models?

2. Most of us are more familiar with financial statements in a classroom setting than with real financials. Select a company. Each student MUST select a different company. Look up its’ most recent financial statements. Financial statements means the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and Statement of Shareholder’s Equity.

Select 3 items from those statements that you understood and 3 that you found hard to understand. Find definitions to the items you are not familiar with – remembering to cite sources.

FYI the company you select will be used to support/respond to other discussion questions this term.

Guidelines: one person per company. Must be a public company traded on an exchange. Must have been public at least two years or at least three years of financial information.
