This program is designed to help you translate business knowledge into a valuation. Using a fundamental analysis framework and a structured valuation methodology, you will learn how businesses generate value and how the value they generate is captured in financial statements. Strategic Financial Analysis provides a useful framework to compute the fundamental or intrinsic value of equity, businesses, operations or strategies. You will also learn how to value growth and to analyse equity and credit risk.

By the end of the program you will be able to:

• Identify how fundamental value is ascertained
• Analyse business strategies to understand the value they add.
• Analyse the quality of the accounting in financial reports
• Analyse growth and sustainable earnings
• Analyse equity and enterprise Price/Earning and Price/Book ratios and understand how they inter-relate
