Financial reports tell the story of an organization within a fiscal year. Annual financial reports are extremely valuable to government organizations because they give both the administrators in the organization and the public who are funding the organization a sense of where revenue is going.

In this Discussion, you analyze an organization's comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) and explain its value to the organization.

Review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the responsibility of government organizations to provide accurate financial reports to the public. Then, select a public organization and a specific CAFR from the selected organization. Public organization budgets are required by law to be available. An Internet search will yield an annual budget for your specific organization.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4
Post a brief description of the organization you selected. Then, provide an analysis of that organization’s CAFR. In your analysis, explain what the report tells the stakeholders of the organization and the value of the report to the organization.

Be sure to support your posting and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

The Jensen Study tracked 1,150 Mutual Fund's performance over a 10-year period.  After calculating the alpha for each of the funds, Jensen determined that, if any given year, only about 50% of mutual fund managers outperform the market - and only 50% of those funds outperform the market the following year. The probability of a particular mutual fund beating the market for the five consecutive years is only about 3% (3 out of every 100 funds). 

As you can now invest in the underlying index (ETFs) which have lower fees and a more consistent long-term return, why would you invest in a mutual fund?
