Many students of finance need to have a complete understanding of financial statements to be successful on the job. The problem is that formal education offers them accounting courses designed to train accountants - not financial analysts. The Schweser Institute Financial Statement Analysis Course addresses that problem by providing the learner with an in-depth understanding of cash flow, inventories, pensions, leases, taxes, business combinations, and other critical accounting topics from the analyst's perspective.
- Provides in-depth understanding of financial management of firms, and the different tools used by analysts to assess a firm's financial strength.
- Gives a thorough discussion of a company's financial statements including the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement without being too focused on the accounting laws behind each.
- Focuses on the impact of a firm's financing decisions and how they affect financial structure, thereby giving the learner knowledge of how to interpret and analyze a firm's financial actions.
- Applies financial statement analysis to the world of investments.
