For this, they may refer to the websites of industry companies, corporate associations, the national stock market commission, and data from the Banco de España, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, etc. They may also access the library database of the Universidad Europea de Madrid.

When selecting the company, the decision must be made taking into consideration the drawbacks and advantages of choosing an individual company or a group of companies. When selecting the consolidated accounts, students must search for a large amount of internal information in order to complete this work, as well as analyze many financial publications such as the status of good governance and information prepared in accordance with the IFRS.
