Inhalte (short description):

​Accounting addresses the measurement, aggregation, and evaluation of economic information useful for decision making. This course is applications oriented and focuses on the most salient aspects of accounting and analysis. It will teach student how to read, analyze and interpret financial statements to make informed business decisions by using real company data. Thus, it provides a broad framework for using financial statements and other SEC required regulatory disclosures in business analyses. Emphasis is placed on developing a critical, general manager’s perspective for interpreting required financial disclosures, understanding the types of financial information available in the public domain and their purposes. Based on the core contents regarding profitability and credit risk analysis, revenue, asset and liability recognition, intercorporate entities and issues related to off-balance-sheet financing students will be enabled to forecast financial statements and apply accounting oriented valuation-methods to evaluate companies, business units and strategic projects. Finally, they will be able to scrutinize the performance and limits of simplifying business valuation models. By the end of the course, students ideally feel competent in writing a credible equity (or credit risk) research report. Further, the student will gain a sense of the importance regarding financial statement information for investing in financial securities. The course is of interest to those pursuing careers in investment banking (particularly in equities), security analysis, private equity, consulting, and auditing firms.
