Understanding Financial Statements
STEP 1: Understand the Company Assigned to you
Understand the audited annual financial statement for the public company (Canada / USA)
assigned to the last digit of your student number. Example: if your student number is
123468090, the last digit of your student number is 0 and the company assigned to you is
Lululemon Athletica Inc.

financial statements and the MD&A (management’s discussion and analysis). If
complementary data is needed to answer any of the questions of step 2, you can look at any
of the following complementary documents: Annual Report, MD&A or Annual
