Basically, all MBA students could, and should, take the course. In particular, students interested in careers in consulting, corporate finance, equity research, investment banking, and anybody who wants to run a corporation. The objective of this course is to develop a set of tools for in-depth financial statements analysis and valuation. This course emphasizes the theme of data analytics and the "Accounting Art of War" (paraphrasing Sun Tzu) and extends it. The class emphasizes analysis rather than mechanical work and, consequently, uses a specialized software for the mechanical part (spanning from ratio analysis to company valuation).
