Financial ratios are a cornerstone of financial analysis—but are you confident in how you calculate and interpret them? Many professionals use ratios in their daily work, yet inconsistencies in understanding and application can lead to misinterpretation. This engaging and practical webinar will introduce a comprehensive “five-step” key financial ratio analysis model designed to bring clarity, consistency, and accuracy to your analysis process. You’ll learn how to assess liquidity, activity, leverage, operating performance, and cash flow using real-world case studies and proven tools.

Dive deeper into the nuances of cash flow with a thorough look at business EBITDA, personal (business owner) cash flow, and global (combined) cash flow analyses. You’ll also gain valuable insight into benchmarking with Risk Management Association (RMA) industry data and the use of Moody's spreadsheet software.

Do you have any other comments, questions or concerns?
I thought that this class would teach how to do a Cash Flow Statement, not simply learn what kinds exist and a very quick overview of the numbers in and out.

This was all open ended questions and he never actually gave real answers in his presentation. I am extremely disappointed that i spent 200 for this course and I will never do another Aurora course again.

The presenter just read most of the screens and had us underline words. It would have been more helpful just to read the presentation.

David had the conviction of an evangelist. This was not just a refresher on information you already possessed, but an encouragement to do an unbiased self-assessment.
