2. Discuss the potentially problematic non-financial items that you identified for the assigned company such as, a management compensation scheme tied to reported earnings, an upcoming merger, restrictive bond covenants, etc.
3. Present the results of analytical procedures you applied to your companys financial data. Compute common-sized financial statements and key ratios for a 5-year period. Perform trend and comparative industry analysis.
4. Complete your presentation with a summary recommendation regarding whether the given company appears to be an acceptable audit client or alternatively, whether the company would pose an unacceptably high level of audit risk and/or business risk for an audit firm.
Presentations should be approximately 10 minutes long along with a PowerPoint presentation required addressing points 1-4 above.
*I will add the voice over myself. I only need the power point and memo. I will provide an outline for the memo.
