Educational Aims of the Module

  • The module teaches corporate financial management and financial statement analyses.
  • The module first integrates finance and accounting concepts in order to show how the structure of accounting can be exploited for valuation analysis.
  • In the second part, the module lays out the financial statement analysis that identifies value generation in a business. This part shows how firms manage their working capital and the capital structure.
  • In the final part the module covers financial forecasting. The forecasting is developed within a financial statement framework so that forecasting is an exercise in pro forma financial statement analysis.
  • The analysis then shows how to convert forecasts into valuations of firms and their strategies.
