Course Description
Balance sheet numbers lead to insights on how a company works. Line item details, category totals, financial ratios, all of these give you the building blocks to your balance sheet insights. Whatever part of the balance sheet you are looking at, constantly ask yourself “What is going on here?”, “What is happening on this balance sheet, and how does it compare to what I expected to see?”. Let me show you in this balance sheet tutorial what generic and specific questions to ask. Once you have done your analysis of a balance sheet section, it’s useful to decide on the importance of what you have found: did you come up with a major insight, or something that is good to know but not really a breakthrough, or merely a piece of balance sheet trivia that might soon be forgotten? In that order of importance. Sometimes, combining several pieces of trivia can lead to something that is good to know. And combining several things that are good to know can lead to major insights. You will only find this out after the fact.
