What You'll Actually Learn
We've designed this around what people actually need when they're looking at financial data. Not theory for theory's sake, but the specific skills that help you understand what numbers are really saying about a business.
Reading Financial Statements
Most people look at balance sheets and feel lost. We break down how to actually read these documents, spot what matters, and ignore what doesn't. You'll work with real company reports from Australian businesses.
Financial Ratios That Matter
There are hundreds of ratios you could calculate. We focus on the dozen or so that genuinely help you understand business performance. Each week, you'll calculate these using different company examples and learn what the results actually mean.
Industry Comparison Methods
A ratio means nothing without context. We show you how to compare businesses within the same sector and identify what's normal versus what's concerning. This module uses case studies from retail, manufacturing, and service industries.
Building Analysis Reports
Knowing the analysis is one thing. Communicating it clearly is another. You'll create three full reports during this module, each presenting your findings to different audiences with different needs.
