For example, say the company I want to do is called "ABC Company", but I used the made-up name of "Faux Company" for confidentiality. Is the following correct to use on the works cited page:

Faux Company. 2012 Annual Report. (2012). 09 May, 2012

...or are you saying it is correct to use the real name in the citation?  If I must use the real name, that would defeat the purpose of using an imaginary name in the paper for my purpose, since I'm only using one company in my paper.
