This course is offered once the student has achieved an intermediate level in financial accounting: recognition and valuation problems for different kinds of business transactions. The course is made up of two parts. The first one revolves about the content of the main financial statements (statement of financial position, income statement, statement of cash flows) and accompanying information. The second part deals with the profitability-risk methodology necessary to analyze the above information for decision making.
