The document outlines various issues an investor should consider when reviewing their investments, including goals and objectives, risk tolerance, progress toward meeting goals, asset allocation, investment selection and monitoring criteria, tax implications, and roles of any financial professionals involved. It asks a series of yes or no questions addressing these issues to help determine which areas need to be reviewed.
The document discusses investing outside of registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) and strategies to minimize taxes on investment income earned outside an RRSP. It recommends investing in corporate class mutual funds or T-Series mutual funds, which allow you to defer capital gains taxes when switching between funds and provide monthly income payments that are partially treated as a return of capital and not immediately taxed. When combined with an overall asset allocation and tax management plan, these non-registered investment options can help maximize wealth over the long run.
The IRS expects that more than 70% of taxpayers will receive a refund in 2017. 1 What you do with a tax refund is up to you, but here are some ideas that may make your refund twice as valuable.
This document discusses the key differences between retirement accumulation and distribution strategies and the adjustments clients and advisors need to make when transitioning from accumulation to distribution. Some of the main points made include:
- Fundamental concepts like dollar cost averaging and compounding work differently in a distribution strategy compared to an accumulation strategy.
- The sequence of investment returns and volatility become more important in distribution since clients rely on steady withdrawals.
- Careful planning is needed to determine the best strategies for generating retirement income from a portfolio and transitioning assets over time in a tax-efficient manner.
- Close monitoring of withdrawal rates and account values is necessary to ensure the nest egg lasts throughout retirement.
The document discusses five common challenges, or "ailments", facing companies with defined benefit pension schemes: 1) increasing cash contributions, 2) operational inefficiency, 3) risk exposure, 4) accounting problems, and 5) sub-optimal investment strategy. It outlines the symptoms of each ailment and suggests possible "treatments" such as independent actuarial advice, liability management exercises, and investment strategy reviews. The document encourages readers experiencing these issues to register for a free health check of their pension scheme from Aon Hewitt, an actuarial consulting firm.
The document discusses financial goals and pro forma statements. It describes five essential ingredients for a strong financial goals plan: creating wealth, maintaining wealth, increasing wealth, protecting wealth, and enjoying wealth. It also outlines four steps for effective financial goal setting: identifying goals, breaking them into short, medium, and long-term goals, educating yourself, and regularly evaluating progress. Additionally, the document defines pro forma statements as standardized financial projections used for business planning, modeling financial impacts of changes, and external reporting to owners, creditors and investors. Pro forma statements are an integral part of business planning and help minimize risks for new businesses seeking financing.
The document provides guidance on important factors to consider when screening and selecting mutual funds. Key things to look at include the fund's strategy, risks, expenses, past performance, management, and tax efficiency. It is also important to consider the fund's ratings from third party sources and to select funds with lower fees and risks appropriate for the investor's tolerance. Understanding the fund's prospectus and other documents is also fundamental before investing.

Company Analysis project – BSAD 245 – Fall 2013
These are basic steps you may use when evaluating company cases in my graduate and undergraduate business strategy and business policy courses.
Before you start, you must understand a couple of things.
· This is not meant to be an exhaustive list; there are other steps that can be followed to get deeper into the meaning of the numbers.
· You cannot analyze the numbers in a vacuum. The numbers only provide indicators to trigger further questions in your mind.
· In order to do a thorough job, you must understand something about the company’s business and strategies, and its industry. Financial indicators vary from industry to industry; the ratios can only be interpreted when compared and contrasted with other companies in that industry. For example, financial indicators are (and should be) different among financial institutions, manufacturing companies, companies that provide services, and technology and computer information and services companies.
· Financial analysis is something of an art. Experienced managers, investors and analysts develop a data bank of information over time, and after doing many such analyses, that they bring to bear every time they review a company.
Step 1. Acquire the company’s financial statements for several years. These may be found in a recent annual report; in the company’s 10K filing on the SEC’s EDGAR database; or from other internet sources such as MSNMoney.com or Yahoo.com. As a minimum, get the following statements, for the last 3 years.
· Balance sheets
· Income statements
· Shareholders equity statements
· Cash flow statements
Step 2. Quickly scan all of the statements to look for large movements in specific items from one year to the next. For example, did revenues have a big jump, or a big fall, from one particular year to the next? Did total or fixed assets grow or fall? If you find anything that looks very suspicious, research the information you have about the company to find out why. For example, did the company purchase a new division, or sell off part of its operations, that year? You can easily calculate the dollar amount and percentage amount change for each line item.
Step 3. Review the notes accompanying the financial statements for additional information that may be significant to your analysis.
Step 4. Examine the balance sheet. Look for large changes in the overall components of the company's assets, liabilities or equity. For example, have fixed assets grown rapidly in one or tw ...
Using Financial Forecasts to Advise Business - Financial Forecasting 101 - Re...Irma Miller
This document provides an overview of financial forecasting and discusses key concepts such as planning, budgeting, and forecasting. It begins with two examples of how forecasting can positively or negatively impact a company's financial performance. It then discusses the relationships between planning, budgeting, and forecasting and how they differ.

A financial statement audit is bound to produce questions on financial statement reporting, and many are matters that are better addressed before the start of the audit. Questions addressed during the reporting year can save not-for-profit organizations a lot of time during their next audit and could eliminate potential control deficiencies reported as a result of addressing these prior to the audit. The following are among the top questions we routinely hear from our clients.
Accounting deals with preparing financial records and statements, while finance focuses on investments, business funding, and macroeconomic issues. Accounting produces financial statements that finance managers use for decision making. While accounting focuses on recording transactions, finance is concerned with raising and allocating funds. Both are closely related, with accounting providing financial information that finance managers use for analysis and decision making.
This document discusses the key differences between retirement accumulation and distribution strategies and the adjustments clients and advisors need to make when transitioning from accumulation to distribution. Some of the main shifts discussed include dollar cost averaging working in reverse under distribution, compounding also working in reverse, the sequence of returns mattering more, time becoming the enemy rather than an ally, and mistakes being more consequential. The document also covers strategies for generating retirement income, factors to consider when transitioning portfolios, and the need for closer ongoing management of distributed assets.
White Paper: IT budgets Custom Software Application Development, Custom Appli...ISHIR
Making the Right IT Budget Cut In times of economic uncertainty organizations have two fundamental choices: hunker down or strengthen their strategic positions. What is the winning strategy? High performance businesses invest to strengthen their position through mergers and acquisitions, product innovation and market expansion—even in a downturn. They support their efforts by strategically reducing costs to create cash flow. Rather than make arbitrary cost reductions, these winners develop cost management measures. Those responsible for IT budgets can expect to receive mandates from senior executives to cut IT costs as part of an enterprise wide cost-cutting program. Begin establishing ground rules for complying with a cost-cutting mandate.

These financial statements are critical to understanding your business and performance.
This document discusses key accounting principles and concepts, including:
- The purpose of key financial statements like the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement.
- Accounting principles like relevance, reliability, and comparability.
- Key terms used in accounting like assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.

Accounting provides essential financial information for making business and economic decisions. It communicates information to various users like investors, lenders, managers, and government authorities. Management accounting specifically prepares financial reports and other analyses for managers to aid in planning, controlling operations, and decision making. It involves selective reporting of relevant financial data, analysis of future projections, and examination of cause-and-effect relationships to help managers promote efficiency and implement plans and budgets.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.
