This course introduces a framework for the analysis of financial statements and financial plans, with a particular focus on their usefulness in valuing and financing companies and evaluating corporate and management performance. Students learn how to value financial assets by gaining an in-depth understanding of valuation theory and how valuation models work. To value a company, students study how to assess the financial health of a company by considering macroeconomic data and corporate strategies, and analyzing the company's financial statements. They utilize different valuation methods including discounted cash flow (DCF), dividend discount model (DDM), residual income valuation (RIM), and market multiples to ascertain the intrinsic value or fair value of the company.
