Overview

SPEAKER: FELIX KAUFMANN

This course will introduce basic approaches to analysing a business from a financial perspective using a range of key performance indicators such as profitability, return on capital, leverage, working capital management, asset utilisation, and cash flow generation. The learning will be supported by examples using a real company. Areas of focus include understanding revenue concepts and drivers, costs of sales versus support costs and operating versus financing costs and ways to control these, including hedging. All this will be analysed in the context of the competitive pressures on a business and management’s business strategy in response to these pressures.

The second half of the day is spent linking the analysis to company valuation and explaining the key drivers of the value of a business. As is the case with business analysis there are various reasons why a company might have to be valued, including for M&A transactions or to assess if a share is trading at a fair price on the stock exchange. As a consequence, multiple valuation techniques have evolved and the course will introduce the key valuation concepts including enterprise value versus equity value, trading and transaction multiples, and discounted cash flow valuation. This will include the time value of money concept, valuing a controlling or a minority stake in a business and highlighting the key challenges of valuing a company. Again, the analysis will be supported by using a real company.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
