Confessions of Financial Statements

Confessions of Financial Statements

This course is for all those who wish to unravel the mysteries of financial statements.

No prior knowledge of finance is required. You must have a hunger for knowledge & a keen interest in becoming an informed & confident investor.

You will understand the power of financial analysis, as well as its limitations.

In Section I, we begin with an Overview of Financial Statements. This is followed by a discussion on Financial Ratios & a Quiz.

Section II covers the DuPont Model, a powerful tool for analysis & strategic decision-making. It also highlights the concept of Sustainable Growth Rate.

A Final Quiz rounds it up. There is an Assignment at the end to increase your confidence.

Section III contains extra material & some of my published articles. I shall add to this as & when there is something new to share with you.

I am grateful to all my publishers for their trust, & for their generosity in sharing knowledge.

By the end of this course you should be able to make sense of financial statements - without fear.You will learn to identify areas which require further examination.

Using this information you should be ready to independently assess the financial health of companies; & be discerning in your choice of investments. It is your hard-earned money; you must treat it with respect.

A note of caution: Ratios are tools, not medicines.

Three ideas to wrap-up:

*** Be confident, but cautious

*** Always keep learning (especially from your mistakes)

*** Practice, practice, practice

Thank You.
