Overview
I need help preparing a Financial Statement Analysis Report for my university course. The selected company is Ma’aden (Saudi Arabian Mining Company) — a publicly listed company on Tadawul (Saudi Exchange).
The structure is detailed and analytical, covering several types of financial analyses. The report should use Ma’aden’s most recent three years of annual reports (2022–2024) and be written in a clear academic style.
Please prepare the report in Word format (about 15–20 pages) with charts, tables, and interpretations.
The report should include the following sections:
- Cover Page – Title, student name, course, instructor, date.
- Executive Summary – Key objectives, timeframe, and findings.
- Company Profile – Background, business areas, market position, and data sources.
- Concept of Financial Statement Analysis – Brief theoretical overview.
- Traditional Financial Analysis:
- Horizontal Analysis (year-to-year change in balance sheet and income statement)
- Vertical/Common-Size Analysis
- Trend Analysis (multi-year growth patterns with charts)
- Ratio Analysis:
- Profitability Ratios (GPM, NPM, ROA, ROE, EPS)
- Liquidity Ratios (Current, Quick)
- Solvency Ratios (Debt-to-Equity, Interest Coverage)
- Efficiency Ratios (Asset Turnover, Inventory Turnover)
- Cash Flow Analysis – Key insights from the Cash Flow Statement.
- Analyze your company’s credit risk: Would you lend money to your company? If yes, what interest rate would you charge? If no, why not? Present the company’s Z-score for the past three years and comment on any significant changes. Based on your calculations, which component(s) require or warrant particular attention?
- Assess the likelihood of misreporting: Calculate the M-score for the past three years and comment on any significant fluctuations. What explains these fluctuations? What factors are driving the reported score? Based on your calculations, which component(s) require or warrant particular attention?
- Key Findings & Interpretation – Main insights from the analysis.
- Conclusion & Recommendations – Financial position summary and improvement suggestions.
- References – Ma’aden Annual Reports, Tadawul, or other credible sources.
Additional notes:
- Use real financial data directly from Ma’aden’s official reports.
- Include tables and graphs for clarity.
- All calculations (for example: ratios, Z-score, M-score) must be shown and explained
- Maintain a professional and academic writing tone.
