This assignment is a comprehensive health history which would normally be done for a new client to a practice or admission.
Course Competency(s): Identify the foundations of health assessment.
Instructions: Using the provided form to guide the interview, collect as much information as the client is willing to divulge. In a combination of bulleted and narrative formatting, document the information gathered. Try not to be too wordy but, at the same time, be comprehensive in your documentation.

FIN 336 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a multinational performance report. The report will investigate the motivation behind expanding business
internationally, whether revenue-related, cost-related, or a combination of both. You will gain a better understanding of international business and the factors
that make multinational business complex (e.g., risk management, ethical and legal compliance). As you work though this project, you will explore how the
2007–2008 financial crisis affected multinational corporations (MNCs), with both additional opportunities and potential risks.
The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two and Five. The final product will be submitted in Module Seven.
In order to successfully complete this project, you will choose a multinational company from the Final Project Company List document and access the following
financial reports:
Balance sheet
Income statement
Statement of cash flows
Current annual report
2007–2008 annual report
Statement of retained earnings
In order to access this information, follow the steps in the Mergent Online Instructions document to access the Mergent Online database. P lease ensure that you
select forms based on the company’s most recent tax submission. The annual report is also available on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission website.
