Financial Performance

Financial Performance
8 chapters | ~2 hours

This course gives you a clear, practical grounding in how the financial performance of a business is measured and what the results mean. Across eight focused chapters you will learn the five families of financial ratios and how to benchmark them, then work through the key measures of liquidity (current and quick ratio), profitability (profit margin, ROA, ROE and ROI), leverage (debt and debt-to-equity ratio), efficiency (asset and inventory turnover) and market valuation (EPS, P/E ratio and dividend yield). Every ratio is explained with its formula, a worked example and guidance on interpretation, so you can read a set of accounts, compare results over time and against competitors, and turn the numbers into decisions.
