Purpose of the strategic audit assignment
The point of this assignment is to see how well you can research, interpret, and draw
conclusions about the soundness and competitive position of a company. Opinions are not
worth any more than the evidence on which they are based. However, simply locating facts
is not sufficient; you also have to determine what those facts mean, and you have to report
everything in a convincing manner.
A strategic audit is usually done to help the firm’s management decide how to proceed, or
to support a potential investment or loan. The purpose of a strategic audit is essentially to
answer the question, “What condition is this firm in?” Because the audit is focused toward
answering this question, there must be a conclusion about what the audit shows.
Therefore, while this is mostly an objective, informative report, there is a persuasive twist
at the end.
2
The strategic audit is not an exam where you simply type in the “right” response. The
questions listed below serve as a basic guide for your efforts. These questions are a bare
minimum, and you need to answer all of them. However, these questions are not intended
to limit your research or limit what you report.
Think of the audit more like an investigative report. The reader wants to know something
significant about the company. Are they on the right track, or not? Is this a good operation,
or not? Are they worth an investment or a loan?

Write a five-to seven-page financial statement analysis of a public company, formatted
according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. In this analysis you will

recommendation to other investors. Your paper should consist of the following sections:

addition to the textbook as references. I have chosen to rote my paper on General Electric

Provide a brief overview of your company (one to two paragraphs at most). What industry is
it in? What are its main products or services? Who are its competitors?
Horizontal Analysis of Income Statement and Balance Sheet
Prepare a three-year horizontal analysis of the income statement and balance sheet of your
selected company. Discuss the importance and meaning of horizontal analysis. Discuss both
the positive and negative trends presented in your company.
Ratio Analysis
Calculate the current ratio, quick ratio, cash to current liabilities ratio, over a two-year period.
Discuss and interpret the ratios that you calculated. Discuss potential liquidity issues based
on your calculations of the current and quick ratios. Are there any factors that could be
erroneously influencing the results of the ratios? Discuss liquidity issues of competitive
companies within the same industry.
Recommendation
Based on your analysis would you recommend an individual invest in this company? What
strengths do you see? What risks do you see? It is perfectly acceptable to state that you
would recommend avoiding this company as long as you provide support for your position.
