Financial Statement Ratio Analysis

It was a great presentation and I got my review on FS ratio analysis. But I think it would be more interesting if we could present actual situations/ gray areas/ problems to collectively solve with or give feedback or alternate solutions so we know how we can help each other to better respond to situations that merit attention in this ever changing financial world. For example, at the end of the course, we let attendees to answer a hanging question (usually from a vast gray area), or ask the best practice, to know more about our thoughts and/or make a statistical survey which could be a prelude to further studies, product/ value creation and excellence. Just a thought. But thank you guys for this. I'm having fun in learning..

Overall a pretty good course that covers ratio calculations and the use of ratios to analyze the financial statements. Really liked the example given in the course to show how analysis can be done with the use of all these different ratios. A few possible improvements on the course: 1) better audio quality 2) better PowerPoint slides to more clearly present the ratio formulas; and other contents that were mentioned in the video but not written in the slides.

I enjoyed the course and actually like that Joseph sectioned it into three modules. He kept me engaged - his delivery style and intonation kept me focused and I would to sit through another one of his presentations. Anyone with a slight interest in understanding the dynamics behind the success of a company could benefit from this course and should consider taking it.

Excellent presentation of ratio analysis. The illustrations were right on point. For the time allotted this was a great course for understanding how financial statement ratio analysis is applied, its uses and limitations. I would like more courses from this instructor.

This was a very informative, well structured and thorough presentation. I enjoyed it and will try and implement ratio analysis in my company. Unfortunately, the audio is subpar and after a while Mr. Ori's constant throat clearing got on my nerves.

Excellent overview of the various financial ratios that are commonly used in company financial statements. I liked the examples used during the class as well as the example comparisons year over year as well as to the industry.

Overview of ratios and how used, industry comparisons, at what level are the numbers good/bad and what additional information should be uncovered was very good. How to use industry comparisons was particularly beneficial.

The course was well presented, ratio equations were explained, industry comparison was pointed out as a determining factor on relevance of ratio figures, and rationales for how ratio variances occur were discussed.

It is good to stress qualitative factors. Too often, managers jump to conclusions based on a single ratio or set of ratios. Sometimes, a good ratio in one place could manifest itself negatively in other areas

Very well done............... here are the ratios, here is an example Co data, here are example Co. ratios compared to industry and here is what the favorable or unfavorable to industry can mean ......
