    FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS
    Credits: 3; Hours: 30
    Instructor: MV Shivaani
    Course description:
    The ability to analyse financial statements is a skill that is essential across fields like,
    investment banking, commercial lending, corporate finance, and valuation. The information
    contained in financial statements is pertinent not only to finance managers but creditors,
    investors, consultants, auditors, directors, regulators and employees. Accordingly, this course
    provides an opportunity for participants to develop the analytical framework required to
    analyse and interpret information contained in annual reports.
    On completion of this course, participants will be able to:
     Analyse and interpret the information that firms report in financial statements to assess
    profitability, risk, growth and credit standing.
     Assess the quality of reported earnings.
     Analyse the impact of certain accounting choices and estimates made by the managers
    on financial number and ratios.
     Identify warning signs/red flags and other sensitive areas in reporting such as earnings
    management.
     Conduct financial analysis using current annual reports of listed companies.
    Pedagogy:
    This course builds on the material in Financial Reporting & Analysis (FRA) course offered in
    Term 1. While the FRA course provided a basic understanding of financial statements and
    calculation of accounting ratios, this course will equip students with the skills and concepts
    required to analyse, interpret and project financial statements.
    The methodology consists of critical discussion on cases, review of conceptual articles chapters
    from textbook and analysis of current annual reports of listed companies.
