Finance & Accounting Programme
Strategic Financial Analysis for Business Evaluation
Overview
Strategic Financial Analysis for Business Evaluation is designed to provide the knowledge and tools for analysing the economics of companies and for valuing them by using financial statement data. Specifically, the programme provides the important opportunity for participants to examine and find answers to critical questions, including:
- What are the key performance indicators and risks of a company, in light of its competitive strategy?
- How can a company’s financial statements be used to assess how well the key success factors and business risks are being managed?
- What is driving the company’s current performance—and is it sustainable?
- How does the company finance itself—and does this method fit its business model and risks?
- What is driving the company’s valuation in the stock market—and, given its fundamentals, is the company’s stock-price multiple reasonable?
- How do the company’s performance and valuation compare with those of its industry peers?
