Please make a financial report of the selected company i.e. BAYER COMPANY (AUSTRAILA) financial year of 2021 to 2023 strictly of 2000 words not more than this (excluding Appendices and References.). I

This assessment requires each student to present their work in report format, to a professional standard. Each report is to use a standard report structure (guidance below), coupled with appropriate formatting (include page breaks, page numbers, letter style and size consistency, appropriate headings, correct and consistent referencing etc.)

While we do anticipate an expected high-level of design quality (a level where you would be happy to hand-over the finished product to a client), you have artistic flexibility throughout this assessment. Please note that this structure is flexible, meaning that there will be instances where you will need to apply discretion to its presentation (example: using appropriate headings within the body of the report).
