The Most Important Financial Measurement Instructions: Write a One-Minute Brief describing in your own words the financial measurement you consider to be the most important for a construction company. Be sure to provide ample support for your position. Complete and submit the assignment by 23:59 Mountain Time Sunday. What is an OMB? OMB stands for One-Minute Brief. These are focused, on-topic, brief write-ups – no more than one page in length – communicating your ideas on a specific topic in a clear, concise, and compelling manner. While the OMB got its name because the reader should only have to spend a minute or so reading it, the length restrictions can actually make them quite challenging to ideate and compose. The format restrictions will train you to communicate your thoughts succinctly. Use your page to apply course learnings, provide analysis, and argue your unique insights. The purpose of this format is to practice making powerful persuasions quickly, and in writing. I’m sure most of you have some sort of experience either getting or creating lengthy “executive summaries,” only to have them round-filed after the first three or four paragraphs. Make your argument quicker; make it clear, make it concise, and compel me to consider your view. FORMAT: DO NOT EXCEED 1 PAGE, Calibri 11pt font, 1.15 line spacing, 1” margins. I WILL NOT READ ANYTHING BEYOND THE FIRST PAGE AND WILL GRADE THE ASSIGNMENT ACCORDINGLY and you will lose the points in the assignment rubric related to format.

THIS IS A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION Consider the following scenario: Your senior management was very impressed with your assessment of the financial statements and ratios analysis you provided on your competitor. They have asked you to assemble using the information and assessment techniques you demonstrated in Week 7 (PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED), a presentation for some senior staff and board of directors. You will need to display your corporate position as well as the industry metrics, and then show what your corporation is currently doing to improve your position in the industry and support your projected growth. One key point that your management has asked for is for you to explain your process steps for the analysis of the financial statement and ratios. If you do not have a corporation, choose a corporation and its competitor for your presentation. In this course, we have discussed many important topics related to Financial Statement Analysis. Taking on the role of a financial statement analyst provide a presentation to senior management and board directors in financial statement and ratio analysis by developing a PowerPoint presentation, based upon the content assignment outcomes from last week, and other outcomes defined within this course. Support your conclusions with references from a minimum of five (5) journal articles or publications. Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as “speaker notes” for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists (AND NEED TO BE PUT IN THE FOOTNOTE OF EACH SLIDE). Create a PowerPoint slide project creating a gratitude demonstration or presentation. Think about who your target audience is and how your topic affects them. The required length of the PowerPoint Presentation option for this assignment is 12-15 slides (with a separate reference slide and separate title slide). Your presentation MUST include footnotes that contain 100-150 words per slide. Be sure to include citations for quotations and paraphrases with references in APA format and style.
