Instructions:

Students will be provided with a case study of a complex financial situation involving a significant organisation. Students should set about analysing the case study and then writing up a consultative report culminating in key recommendations addressed to management. In preparing the report, students should:

- analyse the financial statements of the business;
- identify key ratios and apply ratio analysis;
- argue the case of why the organisation may or may not succeed in the future and what the business should be doing to help it succeed;
- consider the impact of the political competitive environment on the business;
- discuss relevant ethical considerations when an organisation becomes insolvent;
- include external factors that need to be taken into consideration and the likelihood of a merger or acquisition;
- provide a recommendation, that is, would you invest in this company after your own analysis or under what circumstances would you buy/save the business.

The precise format of the report will be founded on research of industrySgrade consultative reports undertaken by the student, using the Torrens University Library. Students should, however, include an executive summary, introduction and conclusion at a minimum. The report is to be limited to 2500 words, exclusive of formal document sections (i.e. title page, executive summary, table of contents, references list, appendices, etc.), citations, tables and graphs. Students should aim for the demonstration of deep learning, founded on theory through thorough reading of scholarly literature, rather than on getting any aspect of this brief ‘right,'.

A key hint for this assignment is to read the case study several times before attempting to write up a consultative report such as this. Students should commence this assignment early, keep regular backups and ensure they submit the correct, final version. Students should use this brief as the instruction set for the assignment requirements. Additionally, the rubric below can be used to describe what unacceptable, functional, proficient, advanced and exceptional assignments might look like according to the criteria in the leftmost column of each row.

As this is a Masters level subject, students are expected to engage with highSquality academic journal articles, using the Torrens University Library. Textbooks, Wikipedia and, in general, anything that can be obtained through an open Google search page are considered supplementary material, unbecoming of a postgraduate.
