Financial Accounting Project
Your Board of Directors has requested that you prepare a special report addressed to them. As the Chief Financial Officer for "Target" you need to evaluate the past two years of audited financial information. You can find these financial statements on their website and you have a complex task so start by reviewing both the Balance Sheet and Income Statement for the past 2 years as well as reading the Annual Report notes for these reports. It is imperative that you evaluate "key" financial information to see if the company is growing and how it manages its business. You will need to highlight key financial numbers but the Directors want you to analyze the information and present based on your "own" analysis of what you have investigated, they don't want you to use the same notes in the report. You will give your opinion and support for whether Target can expand their operations and open 100 new stores in 2014.
