which is correct?
I am writing a report and the acronym for a company is lets say MMCS.
so do I write:
1) We reviewed MMCS's financial information.
or
2) We reviewed MMCS' financial information.
I have to write the acronym and not the full name of the company.
I guess what's throwing me off is that the acronym for this company ends with an S.
Thanks!!

Re: which is correct?
The first.
People will argue that it's changing, but in grammar books I use, it says only Jesus or Socrates or Moses etc. get the second one.

I'm assuming these are just names. If so the first is correct.
General rules when dealing with "s":
Last name or first name ends in s you add 's to it to make it possessive. Example: That is Sam Jones's dog.
To make a last name that ends in s plural as in referring to the Jones family you add es. Example: Merry Christmas, Love the Joneses.
To refer to the Joneses family dog (plural possesive) you add an ' after the es. Example: The Joneses' dog smells bad.
