While reading the annual reports of various companies I observed that some of the companies were following calendar year whereas others were following financial year.Since i have to do analysis of environmental performance and financial performance of selected companies I am confused as to how will i consider companies in my study following different accounting periods?
Hello Jyoti Jain, As the calendar year is the 12-month period that begins on January 1st and ends on December 31st, and the financial year in India starts on April 1st and ends on March 31st of the next year. The solution is to present the financial statements at a local convergence date, that is, using the financial year.
Hello. If you have access to World Development Indicators, published by World Bank.
Hello @ Muawya Ahmed Hussein ,I don't have idea about it.Can you please share the hyperlink from where informationcan be gathered about these indicators?
There are two options - one the database of the regulatory authority (for any specific sector you intent collecting data) would provide the trend in environmental performance and you could choose the best options. This is understandably based on certain budgetary provisions as well. You could prepare a matric on environmental vs financial health as well.
Hello Jyoti Jain
You can just search in google for World Development Indicators. you will find all this kind of data for whole world and by country.
