You should use the following book:Introduction to the corporate annual report-a business application with IFRS content, 3rd by Stanko, B. and T. Zeller(www.appliedaccountinganalytics.com)Your company = Dow.In completing the financial reporting project, you will be using “Introduction to the Corporate Annual Report – a business application with IFRS content, 3rd edition” to analyze a company.You can find most of the information you need for your financial reporting project by referring to the company’s 10-K.The Form 10-K is a document that publicly traded companies file annually with the SEC. The Form 10-K contains the same financial statements that the company’s annual report does, but in a more detailed form. In addition to more detailed financial statements, the 10-K allows you to find out additional information such as the amount of stock options awarded to executives at the company.You can find your company’s Form 10-K by visiting your company’s website or going to the SEC.gov website.Here is a link to a YouTube video that shows you how to find your company’s 10-K on the SEC site.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkpyuNEGO4AThe easiest way to find a company’s 10-K would be to locate it on the company’s website.
