In your conclusion you'll provide an overview of your analysis of the deal based on each section of your report. This is where you will need to synthesize all of the information you have gathered.

You'll need to cite each source that you use because it helps make your work much more credible and allows others to verify the information. There are some examples about how to cite business sources on the next page, but in general here are some suggestions.

In-Text Citations

Be sure to use in-text citations. Using parenthetical citations is often preferred, such as in APA style. Essentially, you'll want to include information about the author (or provider) and the year. Because some of the sources won't have authors, you'll want to use the provider or database's name. For example, you might have one that looks like this:

This is a sentence I wrote based on information I researched (Capital IQ, 2018).

Reference List

This is where you will include a more detailed reference for your in-text citation. This should include at least information about the author (if available), date, name of the article or webpage, and date created. Again, more info about how to create these is on the next page. 

Every in-text citation should correspond to an item on your reference list.
