Financial Reporting

Financial Reporting is a crucial skill that involves the preparation and presentation of a company's financial statements. Coursera's Financial Reporting catalogue teaches you to understand, interpret, and analyze these statements, which are key to making informed business and investment decisions. You'll learn how to prepare balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements, and statements of shareholders' equity, in compliance with international financial reporting standards (IFRS) and generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Additionally, you'll understand how these reports can be used for financial planning, performance evaluation, and forecasting. This skill is invaluable for financial analysts, accountants, business owners, and anyone interested in the financial health of a business.
