Find an annual report for a company of interest (perhaps your employer). Publicly held company annual reportsĀ can be located via a search link at http://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/webusers.htm
To perform the search in the Edgar Archives the best way is to enter the “ticker symbol” for the company. In Yahoo finance enter the company’s name next to the icon “Get Quotes”. For example, Tech Data Corp’s ticker symbol is “TECD” and Bloomin’ Brands ticker symbol is “BLMN”. If you need assistance, please e-mail me.
