PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY! Use the attached balance sheet for the publicly traded organization Walmart. Write a 7-page paper (excluding the title page and references). Use the attached template for structuring the essay. Analyze the financial performance of the organization based on its cash flow statement. Identify best practices leaders can use when evaluating cash flow information. Use APA 7th edition format, including a properly formatted title page, double spacing, citations, and references to support your analysis. Use at least 10 references. Consider the grading rubric for this assignment when preparing your paper. The grading rubric is attached. IMPORTANT! The Nasdaq (cash flow) attachment does not include every line item of the cash flow statement. Other sources of financial statements (such as Yahoo Finance) use a similar practice. As a result, the cash flow line items on the Nasdaq attachment may not align with the subtotals for 3 cash flows from operating activities, investing, and financing. However, the subtotals for each of the 3 cash flow activities are correct. Use the Nasdaq cash flow statement (see attached) that only provides some line items. Focus primarily on comparing subtotals for the 3 cash flow activities (operations, financing, investing). When writing your analysis keep in mind that, depending on the company and the accounting period, you may only be seeing some of the line items. To maximize my score, I am encouraged to use the following APA-formatted references:
