Analyst Question: Download Analyst PDF

The research sources of a financial analyst may be as academic as researching a company's publicly accessible financial statements or as personal as interviewing the firm's top executives to garner information on their financial health and prognosis. He/she may enlist the aid of corporate insiders to access internal memos, reports and documents. Although he/she is normally perceived as objective, an analyst is commonly accused of occasionally overstepping professional boundaries in performing his/her job.
