Competencies
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies:
Analyze financial and investment decisions that add value to the organization
Analyze financing options to maximize investor value
Scenario
You are a financial analyst for the chosen business that you selected during your Module Two Journal
assignment. Your supervisor has discovered last minute that your business’s board of directors is looking for
updates on the business’s financial health. Your supervisor has asked you to write a report regarding the
business’s current financial health and the available financial options for improving the business. You’ve also
been asked to make recommendations as to which options the business should choose to best support its
financial health. Your supervisor will then use your report to present to the business’s board of directors, whose
members all have varying levels of knowledge in terms of finance.
Directions
Using the business you chose from the Project Two Business Options List, create a report for your supervisor
to share with the board of directors during their presentation. Keep in mind that your report needs to be easy
for someone unfamiliar with finance to understand, as not all of the board members for your business fully
understand finance.
Using Mergent Online, locate the most recent quarterly financial statements for your chosen company, and use
these statements to support your analysis throughout the project. Refer to the Project Two Financial
Assumptions document located in the Supporting Materials section for the assumptions you need in order to
analyze the three available financial options outlined in the Financial Analysis section of the project directions.

Sample Solution

The freedom of expression has been codified in article 10 if the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR). This right includes the ‘freedom to hold opinions and to receives and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers.’
Art. 10(2) ECHR names the exceptions under which a restriction of the freedom of expression is allowed. There exceptions are to be construed narrowly. In order for a restriction to fall within one of the exception it has to be in accordance with the law. Additionally, the restriction has to be necessary in a democratic society to satisfy one of the situations which are named in paragraph 2 of article 10. Finally, the restriction must be ‘proportionate to the legitimate aim pursued.’ In the case of contempt of court the most important exceptions are the restrictions that are allowed in the interest ‘for prevention of disorder and crime’, ‘for the protection of the reputation or rights of others’ and for ‘maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.’

As mentioned above the expression of freedom generally collides with the right to a fair trial. By publishing certain facts or articles, the right to a fair trial can be compromised.

As we have seen in Sunday Times v United Kingdom, this is not always done within the margin of appreciation that the ECJ has appointed to Member States.

There are three species of contempt of court; statutory contempt, common law contempt and scandalising the judiciary.

In AG v Newspaper Publishing the judge held that the application of the law of contempt is universal and is ‘based upon the broadest of principles, namely, that the courts cannot and will not permit interference with the due administration of justice.’

Contempt by publication
This form of contempt s necessary for the protection of the justice system, inclu
