Combo – AFSA + Finance Essentials (Banking and Markets)

This course is a combo of both the other intermediate courses
- AFSA
- Finance Essentials – Banking and Markets
Student who enrols for this gets access to both the courses at a discounted price. This combo is only available in the FinShiksha Learning Championship
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is a self paced program. AFSA aims to equip analysts with the knowledge to try and answer the question “Why” when they spot a ratio. The idea is to not just calculate a number, but try and see why the number looks like what it does. This aims to take analysts beyond the realm of what is talk in conventional Financial Statement Analysis.
CERTIFICATION
The course will have an online assessment. The final Certification will be an open Online test, which would be untimed, and open book. We would try and keep the assessment as close to a real life situation as possible, where you will have all the tools that you would have in real life at your disposal.
In addition, the course also has an optional live project. This will help you apply the concepts learnt into a real world example. You will be asked to analyze an Indian firm’s financial statements and annual reports.
