Wow, what a long week of watching videos on the accounting basics.
So, what I want to do in the last video each week,
is look at a real financial statement.
So that we can take the things that we learned in the lectures, and
see how they play out in a real world financial statement.
And to do this, I want to use the same financial statement throughout the course.
The statement I chose is the 3M company.
In case you haven't noticed, I'm from Minnesota.
There's a Vikings helmet over here and some hockey helmets.
And a Gopher helmet over here.
My dad worked for 3M.
My grandmother worked for 3M for 40 years.
It's a company I have some affinity for.
Hopefully I won't find anything bad in the report.
What we'll do in this video though,
is take a quick tour of everything that's in the annual report.
So that you have sort of an overview of where we're going to find things.
And at the end of every week, we'll dive in, in more detail and
try to find that week's topics in the 3M annual report.
Hope you enjoy the video.
