Synopsis

Financial statements are used extensively in decision making. People use financial statements to help them make decisions about share trading and about making and reviewing lending decisions. This course introduces students to techniques that will help them make informed decisions when using financial statements. We use financial analysis techniques to assess the quality of the accounting information provided, to derive the intrinsic value of a company and to assess a company's likelihood of failure.
