Task 1
Q: 1.1
A single person or group of person who are concerned with the day to day operations and performance of a company are termed as stakeholders of that company. A list of possible stakeholders of a company may include employees, company management, company suppliers, stockholders, customers, distributers and local society. All the above discussed stakeholders look for different kind of information in the annual books of the company. The internal management of the company try their level best to boost the revenues and profitability of the organization, company suppliers generally look for the level of liquidity in the company ranks, shareholders look for dividend paying policies of the organization and its future growth plans and investors search for the debt in company’s balance sheet and its ability to pay the debt. We can reach a consensus statement that all the participants of the company have different motives and they look for their own particular type of information to fulfill their respective desires (Jackson, 2008).
