Advanced Financial Statement Analysis (Online)

In a volatile economy, being able to determine an asset’s value, understand an organization's financing sources, calculate profitability, and estimate risks is more critical than ever. These are the metrics that help determine a win or a loss.

Developed by Doron Nissim, the Ernst & Young Professor of Accounting and Finance at Columbia Business School, this program is designed for investors and financial professionals to assess the vital signs of an organization with more precision in order to make better investment decisions. Through the use of a proprietary Excel analysis tool and several case studies, each module illustrates the learnings through a real-world scenario, culminating in a live debriefing of a case with Nissim.
