To participate in this discussion forum, select an annual report (10k) from a global company from either EDGAR Company Filings (Links to an external site.)
or Yahoo! Finance (Links to an external site.). Additionally, learn how to quickly research a company’s operations and financial information by reviewing the
Using EDGAR to Research Investments (Links to an external site.) web page.
Review the current financial statements of the selected company through Yahoo! Finance (Links to an external site.) or EDGAR Company Filings (Links to an
external site.) database in the Filings and Forms page. FreeEDGAR (Links to an external site.) is also a convenient source for real annual and quarterly
reports (called 10-Ks and 10-Qs within EDGAR Speak). You may prefer the SEC’s original EDGAR Company Filings (Links to an external site.), which is a little
less user-friendly, but does not require registration. Yahoo! Finance (Links to an external site.) has summaries of annual and quarterly reports, plus key ratios,
and much more. You can access the financial statements by going to the Yahoo! Finance (Links to an external site.) website, typing in the company name in
the top search bar, and then clicking on the “Financials” tab.
Using the annual report from a company that you select, discuss the risks the company faces and the actions they take to mitigate those risks. Refer to the
“management discussion and analysis” section of the annual report for this information. As part of your response, consider whether you think the risk
mitigation techniques are reasonable. Discuss what other concerns or advice you would offer if you had the opportunity.
