Suggest two key insights per stakeholder group about the financial health of the company. Provide support for your rationale.
2. Identify the current competitors and industry trends that have had the most significant impact on your chosen organization's financial performance. Indicate the trend's positive and/or negative impact on the financial performance of the organization. As the financial manager, suggest two ways that you might minimize the impact of the trend on the organization.
3. As the CFO, suggest two key strategies that you might use in order to improve the financial performance of the organization. Recommend an approach to implement the suggested strategies. Provide support for your recommendation.
