Hello everyone –
Welcome to the discussion forum for week #4 of the class!
The topic of the discussion forum this week is as follows:
This week’s topic area focuses on financial statements and using the information in corporate financial reporting to make decisions. In the Chapter 1 reading, we learn about the importance of the annual report and specifically certain sections of the annual report, such as the Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) section. For this week’s discussion forum, I would like you to do the following:
- Choose a U.S. public company and pull their 10-k from the EDGAR database on the SEC website (do not duplicate firms in the forum).( Starbuck Corporation)
- Assess the MD&A section of the 10-k for the chosen company
- Post to the forum with at least 5 important facts that you learned based on the assessment of the MD&A section of the 10-k.
- Attach the 10-K PDF to the discussion board as well
Thank you very much for your participation this week in the discussion forum!
This discussion board supports learning objective LO2: Interpret and assess the various types of information found within financial statements.
