    How would I go about making a Financial Statement analysis for Disney?
    As well as an independent auditor's report?

    Sorry about that, I'm looking for a template or example of one that has already been done.

    A financial statement analysis is going to consist of a bunch of ratios and such, like return on equity, A/R turnover, working capital, dividend yield, etc. There is no set group of these that must be done. There are certain typical ones, but someone doing an analysis can do whichever ones seem appropriate to them. The equations can even have slight differences, depending on your source.

    If this is a requirement for a class, they should have already given you a list of them. i.e. a chapter in your book that did this specific subject should have a list. If that's the case, I would suggest you use the ones that were given to you.

    If this is a more advanced class and you don't have such a chapter, you should have had a prerequisite that covered this. These are done in a lot of different accounting and finance classes.

    A quick search found me this:
    Financial Ratios
    Nothing saying this is going to include everything your assignment needs, but this is what they're referring to.

    Some of the numbers, by the way, will already be on the report, but probably not very many. (i.e. they're have earnings per share, a PE ratio, maybe some others.)

    As for the auditing... sorry, not my area. But the auditor's report should already be there. Are you sure there isn't something else you're supposed to do with that, cause copying the auditor's report doesn't sound like much of an assignment. Really, they mostly all look alike.
