This course
focuses on developing the skills necessary to build financial statement
projections, perform valuations, and analyze sensitivities/scenarios. Participants
will learn how to create income statements, balance sheets, and statements of
cash flows, and use them to make informed business decisions. Additionally,
they will explore accounting concepts and standards, and how they relate to
external financial reporting. The course also covers cost concepts,
cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis, staffing expenses and headcount analyses,
and budgeting and management reporting. Finally, participants will gain
experience using models and interpreting financial data, and evaluate the

necessary to build and interpret financial statements, and use them to make
informed business decisions in a variety of contexts.
