NBA 5060 - Financial Statement Analysis


Fall, spring. 1.5 credits.

Prerequisite or corequisite: NCC 5060 , NBA 5000 , or permission of instructor. Non-Johnson students, see NBA 5061 .

K. Merkley.

This course provides an introduction to financial statement analysis with the goal of helping students to develop a set of core skills. We cover strategic ratio analysis, cash flow analysis, forecasting, proforma financial statements, and firm valuation using discounted cash flow and residual income techniques. The course emphasizes the practical application of the material using a combination of lecture and hands-on examples. Students are evaluated based on a comprehensive group project and a final exam. The course presumes an understanding of basic corporate finance theory and basic financial accounting, but little or no previous experience in security valuation. The class is designed for students planning for careers in investment banking, corporate management, venture capital, security analysis, credit analysis, consulting, or public accounting.
