What you should know before watching this course

“

To get the most out of this course, you need to have, at least, a basic understanding of what a P&L is and how it fits into the financial statements of a company. If you're not familiar with this concept or if you feel you could use a refresher on the subject, then I would recommend that you take a look at the course, "Financial Literacy: Reading Financial Reports" in the Lynda.com training library. Additionally, the Financial Analysis series of courses will provide you with in-depth information on analyzing a business' current performance. This analysis will be essential in making projections for the future. Also, the course will lightly touch on some accounting concepts, but you do not need to have any knowledge of accounting to follow this course. You should know, though that this is not an accounting course, and as such, I strongly advise you to consult with a certified accountant if you have an accounting question. Please, also know, that in this course, we will be entirely focused on getting useful insights from our analysis, even if it means deviating from traditional finance to get closer to the business reality.
