Week 3 Course Project: Executive Reports Part A—Internal Management

· Prepare an executive level report related to the target acquisition company’s financial and operational strengths and weaknesses that addresses the acquiring company’s internal management team. Key words: synergistic, opportunistic, and financial. Report on what your research into the target company’s current financial and operating status is (this should include a financial statement review and examination of the footnotes in the annual report) and report it your executive team and any key internal personnel. There should also be some consideration into how what is discovered makes the target a good (or bad) acquisition at this time.

· Place the document in Doc Sharing by the end of the week.
