The services which is provided by the company are similar to the services which is provided by Domino’s which are dine in services, party services, Home delivery services (Yum.com. 2018). The basic strength of the company is the efficient management team which Yum Inc has and also the financial strength of the business which allows the business to undertake innovative approaches and also try product innovation for the three popular brands of the business. The weakness which the management of the company faces issues which was related to the appropriate research and development operations which can be considered to be a serious weakness in modern day scenario.

The sales of the business is shown to be $ 3,573 million which is significantly fallen from estimates of 2016 which is shown to be $ 4,189 million. The revenue which the business is able to generate from franchise operations has improved significantly. The current year 2017 shows that there is no income from discontinued operations as shown in the annual reports of the business. The overall net profits of the company has also fallen which is clearly shown in the income statement of the business.

The two items which are included in the profit and loss statement are Installation of Software and Advertisement cost which is shown on an estimated basis for the business. Due to the changing environment and the level of competition, new software needs to be incorporated in the reporting framework so that the business can stay ahead of its competitors (Warren, Reeve and Duchac 2013). In addition to this, the changing environment and the expansion plan of the business requires aggressive sales policy which can be achieved by effective advertisement and proper investment in advertisement of the products of the business.

The basic statutory requirement which Yum Inc needs to follow is the relevant rules and regulations which are prevailing in the country. The management of the company needs to follow all relevant accounting standards which are applicable to the business in the process of accounting and reporting of business transactions (Martínez, Fernández and Fernández 2016). The management of the company also needs to follow relevant taxation laws and rulings which are covered in ITAA 1997 for the purpose of estimating the tax liability of the business.  In addition to this, the business also needs to acquire licensing for franchise business and shop outlet which is opened by the business. The licensing expenses which is incurred by the business is shown in the statement of profit or loss of the business and the same is shown to be $ 237 million which is a material amount. The expense is of a significant amount due to the large number of franchise business and outlets which is opened. 

The business is still at its growth phase and therefore, the business requires rapid expansion plan both in Australia and also globally. In order to achieve this goal, the business needs to acquire significant amount of funds which can be accumulated through equity and debt sources of capital. In addition to this, the company will be requiring more shop locations in order to further expand its businesses.
