Description

Financial statements analysis is the key concept for anyone who works in the field of investing and corporate finance: stock market investors, financial analysts, people working in corporate finance, venture capitalists and private equity. If you want to become one, you have to learn how to analyze financial statements.

This course is made by a practitioner with 30 years of experience in accounting (Big 4) and corporate finance (Head of M&A and investments, Chief Financial Officer). I also published a number of books on the topics of accounting, financial statements analysis and corporate finance which sold more than 100 000 copies in total.

Having an MBA from a top business school myself (MIT Sloan School of Management) I designed the course to be on the highest level of education on the topic of financial statements analysis. The course is a subsection of my larger course on the subject of fundamental accounting and financial statement analysis courses in top b-schools, but with some additional materials and modifications based on my practical experience.
