Finance and Accounting

Finance and Accounting
10 chapters | ~3 hours

A practical, plain-English grounding in how finance and accounting work. You will learn the core vocabulary and principles, the accounting equation and double-entry bookkeeping, how to read the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement, and how to analyse them with trend and ratio analysis (profit margin, current ratio, debt-to-equity, return on equity). You will then apply the time value of money and compound interest, build and control budgets with variance analysis, understand how financial markets and market cycles work, and finish with a case study comparing Nike and Lululemon. No prior experience required.
