Financial information comes from both companies and markets. It includes figures released by a company as well as trading data on various different asset classes. Company information does include some of these figures, for example figures contained in the balance sheet. However, it focuses more on characteristics of companies, their activities, boards and executives.
The Business Library provides access to a wide range of financial data and company information for both public and private companies. It's accessible across a range of platforms on site or from your own computer. Special login details are required for some databases. Business Students can access these on Business Library Moodle 2024-2025. All other students, please email businesslibrary@citystgeorges.ac.uk.
Some financial resources are only available on specific bookable PCs in the library.
