Learning outcomes:
The most common language on the international financial markets, managed e.g. through Earnings or annual reports published by listed companies, follows the conceptual and legal guidelines of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), especially in the EU. Key investors’ decisions are made of impacts of these international rules and principles, as well as how management goals internally are defined and mainly measured by the achievement of financial Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Therefore, gaining the respective basic understanding about key IFRS rules and their impact on annual reports, as well as gaining competencies to interpret the financial health of organizations holistically in this Bachelor’s degree programme in its broad outlines is the overarching goal for the students of this course.
In addition, recent scandals such as the “Diesel Scandal” or many other cases have shown that solely financial analysis-oriented valuation of organizations cannot be sufficient. Therefore, students of this course learn furthermore to analyze business models and companies’ strategies in order to derive assessments and business analysis estimates either and to connect the dots.
This course enables students to evaluate real and current examples in order to form the link between the objectives of strategic (financial) management, e.g. from the perspective of the Board of Directors of a company, as well as the position of a company on the capital markets, or by investors’ perception.
Overall, students of this course are able to evaluate key components of a company´s business and financial analysis of an organization and, based on this, make recommendations for decision makers or investors.
