Conduct a Financial assessment on a typical organization of your choice.  Attempt to obtain a copy of their balance sheet, income statement, and any other pertinent information you can obtain.  If obtaining the information becomes a difficult challenge, try another organization.  If all else fails, use the attached form and fill in representative, best-guess numerical values for each line item.  If you feel that a line item is not pertinent, or can be eliminated, do so. Worst-case and as a final resort, contact me.  Don’t wait until the last minute. Start early.  Using the model in Chapter 4 of Known, Martin, and Petty, for the elements of your assessment, put together an APA paper assessing the organization’s financial health.  Conform to APA standards.  The paper should identify at least six issues on to base your assessment.  Obviously more is better.
