Behind the Balance Sheet

Our Forensic Accounting Course is designed to help equity analysts detect earnings manipulation. It’s more creative accounting than forensic but we show the tools short sellers employ to detect fraud as well as some of the historical frauds perpetrated.
You will go away with an increased awareness of the importance of
<UL>
<LI>Working capital ratios, and how best to modify them to detect early revenue recognition</LI>
<LI>Cash from operations - how it can be boosted to make companies appear more valuable</LI>
<LI>Expense capitalisation – how companies defer recognition of liabilities</LI>
<LI>Accounting policy tricks companies use to flatter their earnings.</LI>
<LI>How companies recognise revenue early to boost profitability</LI>
<LI>Many other techniques companies use to flatter reported earnings</LI>
</UL>
and a toolkit of how to detect such accounting chicanery.
The course has well over 100 real life examples of such tricks and several in-depth case studies. Delivered by a veteran analyst with 30+ years of experience, it also draws on a number of relevant academic studies. This course is practically identical to the course delivered to professional analysts at multi-billion dollar institutions, but at a fraction of the price.
