Course Description

Just seeking the data is base. However, when we analyze the data we get better understanding of the overall picture. Financial statements are nothing but base data for the business and its operations. Ratio analysis provides perspective to these numbers.

From this angel, financial statements must be analyzed in order to fully understand the data presented. This webinar identifies common issues that should be considered when analyzing financial statements using financial ratios.

Key Topics include:

Inherent limitations of financial ratio analysis.
Trends to consider to determine earnings quality, including the relationships between earnings, receivables, inventory, and cash flow.
The impact of changes in accounting principles and estimates and the impact of accounting errors.
Impact of foreign currency fluctuations from translating statements and from specific foreign exchange transactions.
A short case study of a NYSE traded company that issued fraudulent financial statements that were undetected even though there was limited correlation between earnings and cash flow.
