Financial Statement Analysis and Valuation INSEAD

Financial Statement Analysis and Valuation

Building a solid financial statement and valuation framework

Content Overview

We will use the case method almost exclusively in this course. The course develops an accounting-based valuation framework that integrates a firm’s strategy, its financial performance, and its accounting credibility.

The programme applies the above framework to a variety of business valuation contexts, such as, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), leveraged buyouts (LBOs), hedge fund investors and sell side analysts.
