Course Curriculum
The detailed curriculum outline of our Financial Reporting is as follows:
Begin by exploring the purpose of financial reporting and why accurate financial information is essential for businesses, investors, and regulators. You’ll gain an understanding of key financial statements and reporting standards commonly used in Canada.
Cash flow provides valuable insight into an organisation’s financial health. This module explains operating, investing, and financing activities while showing how cash flow statements support budgeting, planning, and business decision-making.
Assessing financial strength is an important part of lending and investment decisions. Learn how credit analysis is performed, evaluate repayment capacity, and understand the financial indicators used to assess credit risk.
A balance sheet offers a snapshot of an organisation’s financial position. Explore assets, liabilities, shareholders’ equity, and how these elements help measure financial stability and long-term performance.
Understanding equity allows stakeholders to evaluate ownership value and business performance. This module examines shareholders’ equity, retained earnings, financial growth, and the role equity plays in investment analysis.
Financial ratios help compare performance across businesses and reporting periods. Discover how liquidity, profitability, efficiency, and solvency ratios are calculated and interpreted to support informed financial decisions.
EBITDA is widely used as a financial performance indicator, but it has limitations. Learn how EBITDA is calculated, where it is most useful, and why it should be considered alongside other financial measures.
Complete the course by exploring the fundamentals of Canada’s tax system and financial reporting obligations.
