Course Format: Classroom | E-learning | Virtual Class | Online | On-site | Blended | Self-paced

Course Description:

'' The Concentration in Financial Analysis is intended to provide skills and subject matter knowledge that will prepare students for careers that use the analysis of accounting numbers to support business decisions, such as consulting (e.g., strategic consulting, litigation support), equity analysis (sell-side or buy-side analysis; portfolio management), commercial banking, investment banking, financial positions in corporations (including in-house acquisitions activities). The accounting courses in the concentration will provide a solid foundation for preparation of pro forma financial statements, reading and analyzing financial reports, analysis of cost drivers and costs (e.g., separation of fixed from variable costs), and valuation techniques. The non-accounting courses augment students�accounting knowledge with insight into the drivers of profitability within and across industries (competitive analysis; intellectual capital and competitive strategy), better ability to manipulate and analyze financial data (forecasting; information management), and deeper understanding of capital structure and restructuring events that change both asset compositions (e.g., via mergers or spin offs) and capital structures (corporate finance; corporate restructuring).
