This unit focuses on the fundamental analysis of four financial statements: the income statement; the balance sheet; statement of change in equity; and the cash flow statement. The financial analysis primarily involves the use of ratios to analyse a firm's performance against appropriate benchmarks. The prospective analysis involves the development of forecast financial statement information which can then be used to estimate a firm's value.

✔ Outcomes:

Students are able to (1) demonstrate an understanding of the difference between cash accounting and accrual accounting in business valuations; (2) evaluate the importance of ratios in financial statement analysis, including, liquidity ratios, debt ratios, asset ratios and price-earnings ratio; (3) assess the current and future performance of firms using ratios; (4) analyse cash performance of firms via the cash flow statement and the various activities of a firm; (5) critically analyse the profitability and growth performance of firms; and (6) demonstrate an understanding of how accounting for current and non-current assets, such as receivables, inventories, and non-current assets, impact firm performance.
