About this course
This course walks you through the three core financial statements that every investor needs to read: profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow. You will learn how each statement is built, what numbers mean, and why they matter when you decide whether to buy a share.
The approach is practical rather than theoretical. You start by understanding why we depreciate expenses over many years, then move on to clearly distinguishing net profit from cash flow. The next step is interpreting how profit, assets and cash flow relate to one another, which helps you see the full picture of a company’s health before you invest.
By the end you can identify what a shareholder truly owns when he invests into a company and explain common accounting practices that appear in every annual report.
This course is designed for beginners. No prior accounting knowledge is assumed, and every concept is explained in plain English. If you are completely new to financial statements, start here before moving on to more advanced valuation models.
Honest limits: the course does not cover valuation math, discounted cash flow or how to build a portfolio. It stops at reading and interpreting statements. Learners who need deep accounting theory or portfolio construction should look at the alternative courses listed below, which spend more time on those topics.
Free options include the alternative beginner courses on this site, which also cover profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow at no extra cost.
