In order to achieve this you are to select an organisation from the FTSE 250 Index and perform ananalysis of their most recent financial performance as reported.The link below (the London Stock Exchange Logo) will take you to a website which contains the list oforganisations currently listed on the FTSE 250 Index and further links which will take you to theirwebsites.Before selecting an organisation, it is suggested you research a selection of organisations on the listand consider which markets or sectors they operate within and choose an area which is either ofinterest to you or is one you intend to work in, in the future.**Every student is to select a different FTSE 250 listed organisation**RequirementsOnce you have selected your organisation you should perform your financial analysis using a range of sources of information. The organisation’s annual report will be a good starting point and these are readily available from either the organisation’s own website or from third party websites or databases (research) provided by the University.As part of the analysis you should put their most recent financial performance into context on a number of levels:Against recent but previous performances e.g. the last 2 – 5 years Against identified competitor organisations performanceAs such you will need to identify and research competitor organisation’s financial performances. These may or may not be also on the FTSE 250 Index listing.It is expected you will perform a range of ratios as part of the analysis, including those specifically relating the HR metrics. Not to include these ratios will lead to a reduced mark.It is likely that much of the data for this work, so far, will be available from company records and accounts, most of which is produced as part of the annual reporting requirements. Often this is provided with a company written narrative which both describes and explains the facts behind the performance. Naturally this can be bias and so you should seek third party analyst’s views upon yourorganisation’ performance. These will also be available electronically from both the Internet and SHU student research resources. Achieving this will lead to additional marks.From this work you should provide a summary of the organisation’s performance, similar to the oneswe have looked at in seminars. As part of this summary you are to either identify or make recommendations as to the most appropriate methods of Costing and Investment Appraisal for such an organisation, industry or sector. These are to be supported with clear rationales.2
