【Course Objectives】

This course will introduce students to the use of accounting from the perspective of an investor. Students will learn how to find and use accounting information by reading financial statements of actual companies.

【Course Contents】

Students will learn how to search for company information and documents, interpret company earnings announcements & financial results, and conduct cashflow, solvency and liquidity analysis. Students will also conduct a comparative analysis of the company against other companies in its industry and to apply different methodologies to value the company. Students will also learn about the limitations of accounting information and the importance of non-accounting information in analysing a company. Students will apply their knowledge by role-playing an investment analyst and writing a investment report on a company of their choice.
At a minimum, we will illustrate these concepts by deconstructing the financial statements of Tesla and Softbank.
After the class, students should have the tools to independently analyse the financial statements of a company.
