Cautionary Points

1)   Students should avoid choosing the same company with another group. A list of ‘AIM’ companies has been uploaded to Blackboard, from which students can choose their case company.

2)  Make sure you reference all sources of data, theory and opinion irrespective of whether they are from academic or empirical sources.

3)  Please append the three main financial statements (Income Statement, Statement of Financial

Position & Cashflow Statement) of the most recent year to your report. Failure to do so will result in a penalty of 5 marks.
