TFIN205 Financial Forecasting and Data Analysis

This unit requires students to analyse and forecast financial data arising primarily from the financial statements of entities. Fundamental analysis techniques are examined in detail with particular emphasis on the application of these techniques in financial concepts and prospective frameworks for valuation decisions. This unit focuses on three key components of effective analysis and forecasting: the use of ratios to analyse a firm's performance against appropriate benchmarks; the firm's financial securities and capital structure; and the development of forecast financial data to estimate a firm's value and future performance. All calculations and analyses are performed using Excel.
