Course Objectives: | ||||
This course is designed to improve your ability to analyze financial reports and value companies. After completing this course, you will gain two valuable tools in your skill set: (1) financial statement analysis; and (2) equity valuation principles. The focus of financial statement analysis is a rigorous reformulation of published GAAP statements. The reformulation is needed to highlight the shareholder-value generation and distribution process of the firms. The focus of the equity valuation is theory-consistent valuation benchmarks. These benchmarks provide important guidance to further, more detailed firm valuation. Time permitting, we may cover special topics like accounting quality analysis, etc. | ||||
