2020
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject you will gain an advanced appreciation of financial statement analysis from the point of view of the primary users: equity and credit analysts. The subject provides you with an understanding of how financial statements are constructed in order to separate the economic process that generates the numbers from the accounting process that at times obfuscates them. Each topic is focussed on a specific area of analysis and the effect of differences in accounting methods and estimates on reported financial conditions, results of operations and financial ratios is highlighted. International accounting differences are discussed and relevant empirical research findings are considered.
