Your report should be a Word document of 3000 words. You will also need to upload your Excel spreadsheet. You may have as many sheets within each Excel spreadsheet as you want but you will probably want one sheet per financial institution.

Academic Integrity

I will check the Excel sheets against the data in Morningstar in case of any plagiarism.

I will check the analysis in the Excel workbooks to the Word document to avoid any plagiarism or bought assignments.
