The story includes a plot (strategy), a conflict (competition), and character development (operations that execute the strategy). A firm tells its story in financial terms via its accounting reports. In the Financial Accounting core course at INSEAD participants develop their accounting literacy skills so that they may better understand that story. You will not become an accountant, but rather a knowledgeable consumer of financial information.  In this masterclass we will cover a typical case from the core course that deals with the concept of Earnings Quality. Accounting earnings are one input used to assess firm value, and recently reported numbers serve as a baseline for those forecasts. At the same time, earnings can be used as a monitoring tool to assess the success or failure of past tactical decisions. Yet not all earnings components are equally useful. We will discuss this nuance during the class.PRACTICAL INFORMATIONINSEAD Europe Campus is located on the edge of the Forest of Fontainebleau and just a stone's throw away from the town centre.

Organizations are a means to help us accomplish collectively what we cannot individually. But they are also social contexts that are the natural habitat for homo sapiens. Prof. Phanish argues that advances in algorithmic technologies, particularly AI, can alter the balance between these two roles of organizations in our societies. He proposes that we can preserve the balance by thinking carefully about how to absorb algorithmic technologies into our organization designsFaculty Speaker: Professor Phanish PuranamProfessor of StrategyThe Roland Berger Chaired Professor of Strategy and Organisation DesignResearch Director of the INSEAD-Wharton AllianceAgenda:6:30 pm – 7:00 pm | Coffee Registration7:00 pm – 8:30 pm | Faculty Masterclass with Professor Phanish8:30 pm – 9:30 pm | Networking Session
