Auditors need to be able to analyse and adjust financial statements, perform a strategy analysis and use it to make consistent pro-forma statements, estimate the cost of equity and the required rate of return, and to choose a proper valuation method.
The course will also cover the way that firms handle sustainability issues and how this has an impact on future cash flows and, therefore, on the value of the firm.
