----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This course is intended for shareholders and administrators of corporations, managers, financial directors, professionals, and anyone seeking to monitor the performance and growth of their own or others' entrepreneurial activities.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The purpose of this course is to provide quality training and essential knowledge for practically conducting a check-up of one's business and managing it with a focus on improvement and growth. With guidance from experienced instructors, participants will:

Signals received from a company (economic, financial, earnings, asset-based) reflect the management and evolution of entrepreneurial activities over time. The financial statement serves as a sort of “numerical code”, revealing the outcomes of the decisions made over a specific period.
For comparison, analyzing a financial statement is analogous to a blood test when something is amiss or when one wants to gauge overall health. Through the analysis of financial statements, it is possible to "freeze" the business in time, take a snapshot of its condition, and identify key vital parameters that require attention or those that are performing well, leading to necessary improvement actions.
Participation in this intensive course is deemed essential as it delves into the phases of financial analysis, from structure to reasoning behind its formation, progressing to reclassification and the development of main indicators, ultimately allowing participants to read financial statements confidently!
The course will feature a balanced mix of practical insights derived from field experience by expert instructors and will be heavily interactive. This course is not a passive listening experience; instead, it actively engages participants in reasoning through numbers, concepts, and experiences to genuinely interpret the value expressed by financial statements!
