  • Analyze financial statements to evaluate profitability, operational performance, financial strength, and cash flow.
  • Use ratio analysis to evaluate financial performance again trends, prior performance, and industry statistics.

One of the most crucial skills for any manager to develop, financial or otherwise, is an ability to pick up and read a set of financial statements.  Financial statements tell important stories about how a business has performed, its level of financial strength, and the availability of cash generated.  Unfortunately, these stories are often not explicitly stated and require understanding and further analysis.

 

In this course, we will work through a set of financial statements highlighting the key points of relevance.  We will also learn about ratio analysis, which will help us generate a deeper level of insight into the financial results by making comparisons to prior periods and to peers.    This is a foundational course that will deepen your understanding of what the numbers mean. 

  • No prerequisites are required for this course.
  • Are you looking to up your understanding of financial information? Financial literacy is as important as an ability to read and write in the business world. If you aren’t quite sure how to read and interpret financial statements, this course is for you.
