Prof. Rogoff's MGT9865 class, Entrepreneurial Ventures, is working on an assignment to create balance sheets and income statements for industries. They have the NAICS codes for their industries and have been told to use the RMA Annual Statement Studies for the data. Last night while working with several of these students, we had to dig for the data because their industry was not covered in RMA. You can refer the students to the Library Guide on Ratio Analysis for alternative sources. Troy's Almanac uses NAICS but Industry Norms and Key Business Ratios (Dun & Bradstreet) still uses SIC codes. Reuters is also another possibility but it uses GICS codes.
Beyond the sources listed in the Guide, students can use composite data from a group of comparable companies such as that found in the Factiva Comparision Report, the S&P Stock Reports, Value Line, etc.
