Overview

Analytics combined with accounting data is at the heart of most forward-looking corporate decisions. Investment bankers, equity research analysts, portfolio managers, credit analysts, lenders, and capital market regulators rely on accounting data to identify investment opportunities, assess business risks, and negotiate business contracts. This course will help you gain basic understanding of how professionals use analytics tools to leverage accounting data to produce significant insights and make meaningful predictions. Most importantly, you will learn how accounting analytics are applied in real-world business contexts, such as quantitative investing, financial fraud prediction, earnings forecasting, etc. You will use numerous real-world case studies in lectures, tutorials, and assessments to reinforce your learnings.
