I have chosen either General Motors or Cable and Wireless [site for cable and wireless is www.cwc.com. Please advise which you can cover? You might be able to cover your company.
Can you include in the appendix the methodology or Balance sheet:
How does the company allocate the capital? What kind of amounts are we talking about? What is happening at the level of a plant?
How often is it controlled? What happens if the division does not reach its budget? What are the most important items of the budget? Etc.
On the other hand you will have a wealth of data on the Balance Sheet, so the capital structure you could discuss in great detail.
Please indicate which company can be covered.
