Finance Assignment Help:

Task: This assessment task is a written report and analysis of the financial performance of a selected company in order to provide financial advice to a wealthy investor. It will be based on financial reports of a listed company on the ASX . This assignment requires your group to undertake a comprehensive examination of a firm’s financial performance. Your group is required to do the following tasks: 1. Prepare a brief description of the company, outlining the core activities, the market(s) in which it operates within and any factors in the companies’ history which you consider help present a “picture” of your company. 2. Specify ownership-governance structure of the company: i) Name the main substantial shareholders:

• With higher than 20.00% of shareholdings. Based on this argument you should classify a firm as a family or non-family company, and
• With higher than 5.00% of shareholdings.

ii) Name the main people involved in the firm governance:

• The Chairman
• Board members
• CEO.
  • Whether any of these people have the same surname as any of substantial shareholders (>20% share capital). If yes- you could use this as an argument for the presence of an owner or family member(s) in the firm’s governance.
  • Whether any of shareholders with more than 5% share capital are involved in firm governance.

3. Calculate the following Fundamental Ratios for your selected company for the past 2 years. Annual reports are accessible via company websites:
