The course is modelled after the fundamental accounting and financial statement analysis courses in top b-schools, but with some additional materials and modifications based on my practical experience.To give you the highest level of education possible the course includes a number of Harvard Business School cases that are taught in the leading MBA programs around the world.While other accounting courses concentrate on theoretical artificial examples, this course is based completely on practical applications.
