This analysis reports can be used in decision making and performance evaluation of any entity by the different user according to their needs and requirements. The authorized topics by Oxford Brookes University are almost 22 in numbers for this Research and Analysis project. In the topic selection process, I felt various difficulties about;
❖ Availability of detail and authentic information about authorized topics. ❖ The application of limited information available on the apparent organization. ❖ Performance of broad and comprehensive analysis without knowing real aspects.
But my this difficulty was resolved by my mentor at my first meeting. I discussed with him some clear proposal of my choice of topic, aims, objectives and limitations of my report. After detail discussion and exchange of views, we reached at the conclusion of performing on following topic;
“An Analysis of the Financial Situation of Your Choice of Organization”
The selection of this topic was as a result of various influences and views discussed with my mentor. Some of which are as follows;
❖ The approved and authentic easily available information. ❖ This analysis provides overall summarized sketch of company’s financial performance and operating achievement of their desired objectives against certain standards. ❖ The topic is easily understandable, having broad, simple and clearly defined scope.
