Task:

Report for a training program

You are asked to produce a 400-word report that could be used as part of the documentation for a training program for an investment analyst, the aim of which would be to enable the analyst to understand and make comparisons of the types of information they can expect to find in the Annual Reports of multinational corporations. 

 

You have been assigned to a specified topic and you have been given three companies for comparison. The companies are selected from the pharmaceutical industry.  One company is based in the US, one in the European Union, and one in Asia.  The selection has been taken from a survey report:

The Pharma 1000 : The World’s Most Valuable Pharmaceutical Companies: A Torreya Report: September 23, 2020

https://torreya.com/publications/pharma1000-report-torreya-sept2020.pdf

 

Your report should provide a commentary that aims to explain and illustrate the extent to which company annual reports are comparable or different, in the topic area specified to you, depending on the country in which a reporting company is based.

 

It should offer sufficient explanation so that a sophisticated reader can readily understand the points that are being made by reference to the tables that you produce.

 

Length and style of report

There are four questions for you to answer within your commentary.  Each should take around 100 words but you may find some answers go above 100 and others below.  That’s for your discretion.

Total length

400 total adequate, with 20% tolerance

 

Your aim is to explain and illustrate the extent to which your three company annual reports are comparable or different, in the topic area specified to you, depending on the country in which each reporting company is based.  You are not evaluating the success or failure of the company.  You are helping the analyst understand the nature and comparability of accounting information.

 

At this point you should remind yourselves that you are writing a briefing report for training investment analysts, not a full comparison of every detail in the report.

Your report will contain Table 1, Table 2 and a final Commentary. The formats for the Tables are on the following pages. Write your Commentary below Table 2.
