Written Assignment: SEC 10-K Analysis

The content of your paper should focus on accounting issues and include words used in our accounting class, including financial accounting and the scope of our course, at a higher level than in Principles of Accounting since we are now in Intermediate Accounting. Review the chapters and key concepts for ideas!

Use terms from our class and create displays using the SEC 10-K for your company. The use of headings will label the sections in your paper. Your goal is to explain the financial statements and the information of the SEC 10-K with the knowledge you learn from our class. While not explaining every item in the SEC 10-K, your paper should tell a story and illustrate your mastery of accounting terms and concepts. No more than one page should be devoted to your company’s history and non-financial information. Focus on the Notes to the Financial Statements and the MD&A.
