Overview
Key facts
The aim of the course is to help students become sophisticated users of financial information. The course is thus suitable for students interested in learning how financial information can be useful in asset allocation and, more broadly, in making decisions about providing equity and debt financing to firms.
London School of Economics and Political Science's Financial Statement Analysis for Investment Banking and Asset Management course covers several important topics, including revenue and expense recognition, accounting for debt and equity financing and complex M&A transactions, cash flow analysis, and security valuation using multiples and discounted cash flows. The course blends cutting-edge research and extensive real-world applications. It is especially suitable for those students interested in pursuing careers in equity research, asset management, and investment banking and provides an excellent foundation for those preparing for interviews and assessment centres in these fields.

General requirements
The course will be particularly valuable to students who plan to pursue careers in equity research, asset management, and investment banking. The course is suitable for students with little prior exposure to accounting. However, students who have already taken several accounting courses will also find the unique blend of academic evidence and real-world applications novel and appealing. The course is designed for a diverse international audience and therefore emphasizes differences between international accounting standards (IFRS) and US GAAP when appropriate.
