In Depth Analysis (Recent Sales (Historical) & Forecasts) - To Set New Accounting & Bookkeeping Framework

Our company needs to have an understanding to what transpired during the last 5 or so years financially with the business. We want to thoroughly go through the records (ex. bank statements and more), analyze and document the results. This lookback of the numbers will give understanding to what made us successful and where we lost money unnecessarily. With this information, our company can make current and accurate sales forecast so that we are able to allocate resources appropriately in the coming months and years. In this project, students will analyze organizational assets including personnel, strategic records, pricing, and promotion. Using these resources, we would like you to construct a sales forecast with a predictive model for the next two years of operations, including monthly projections. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Analyzing our current organizational assets for metrics that will affect our sales. Analyzing historical sales trends and comparing our previous forecasts to actual results. Constructing a model to predict sales including projectable market shifting events. Creating a report including research, analysis and the sales forecast. Developing multiple predictions using conservative and aggressive approaches.
