Students and instructor

A course in reading financial statements

Each team of students runs a manufacturing firm for a term, eleven quarters in a typical course. Every quarter produces a fresh income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement and notes, and the team's job is to read them, explain them and act on what they find.

The business decisions are deliberately quick, and they arrive prefilled. They exist to give students a new, different set of statements to interpret each quarter.

The point for your course

Students practise what accountants and analysts actually do: explain why the numbers moved.

Where your firm stands

Three quarters of history are waiting: statements and notes for Quarters 1 to 3.

Every figure in this tour comes from a practice run of a reference course, played by the same engine a class uses, with the Careful, Average and Careless reference teams over 11 quarters. Names of students, instructors and firms are made up.
