It is, therefore, very useful for students planning to enter banking, accounting, management, or investing careers. Specifi c elements of the course include ratio analysis, understanding "window dressing", or the deliberate attempts by a company toglorify its fi nancial statements, Dupont analysis, industry analysis, and forecasting bankruptcy.
