- Which of the following statement is not true as part of building financial statement forecast model? All statements are true. While the bare minimum may be last year’s balance sheet, it is unlikely that you can produce useful projections based only on a single period. Using the historical data from the top competitor of the industry is important to create some benchmarks to assess if the company has been doing well or poorly. We need to get historical financial statements for at least three years—five is better—and make sure that they are based on consistent accounting policies. Financial statement forecasting models have to start with at least some historical financial statements for the company.arrow_forwardTou have observed the cumulative abnormal returns graphed below surrounding the announcement of a new CEO for all publicly traded frms in the US from 1990 to 2020.
