As a small (3-4 student) group you are required to develop a financial analysis of a healthcare organization. The intent of this assignment is to evaluate the financial and operational health of the organization. You may pursue, analyze, and synthesize any information source you choose (e.g., website content, current resident personal interviews, organizational documentation, etc.).
Your content should be clear, logical, and report on (at a minimum) the business’ location(s) and competitive market(s). Use of a PESTLE and SWOT analysis is encouraged. From a financial perspective, your final presentations should contain analysis and discussion on 2- 3 ratios from each of the primary financial ratio categories discussed in Week 4 (e.g., liquidity, profitability, operating efficiency, and capital structure). A five year trend analysis – including the most recent year of available information/data – is expected for each ratio selected. Interpret the ratios, the financial and market trends and provide your perspectives on the strengths and weaknesses of the organization.
Do not just report the data. Tell us what it means. Ultimately, we want to know if the organization is financially sound and has strong long-term growth prospects. Why or why not? Grading will focus on content development, depth of analysis and professionalism of delivery. Your final deliverable is a presentation of no more than 10 minutes in length, developed in a professional format suitable for presentation to the Board of Directors or a C-Suite executive team.
