ACCOUNTG 247F - Fundamentals of Financial Analysis

Institution:

Duke University

Subject:

Accounting

Description:

This course focuses on financial analysis of a firm and on valuation of its shares. The course provides a framework to analyze and interpret financial statements, exposes students to the publicly available sources of financial information used in capital markets, and develops important Excel modeling skills pertaining to financial planning, analysis, and valuation. The course builds on prior coursework (in financial accounting, strategy, managerial accounting, investments, and corporate finance) by having students: (i) evaluate the financial implications of a firm's articulated strategy; (ii) use that information to project the firm's financial statements several years into the future; and then (iii) apply various valuation techniques (such as free cash flow valuation and multiples approaches) to determine forecasted (target) prices of the firm's shares.
