Financial Statements and Financial Analysis Training
Reading financial statements, interpreting them correctly and focusing on the cash cycle form the foundation of companies' forward-looking strategic decisions. Grupas' Financial Statements and Financial Analysis training is designed to develop the knowledge and skills required to use financial statements as a vision and management tool. Starting from the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity and the notes, the program extends to financial literacy, ratio analysis, horizontal & vertical analysis, DuPont, trend and benchmarking techniques; to financial valuation with DCF, market multiples, NAV, WACC and scenario analysis; and to the management of liquidity, credit, market and operational risks through measurement (VaR, stress testing) and hedging methods. Budget & variance analysis, working capital and cash conversion cycle (CCC) optimization, along with financial early warning signals, are addressed through interactive case studies.
