Ratio Analysis

In modern business, data is becoming ever more abundant. The challenge is turning that data into useful insights and actionable information. In this session, we will discuss the importance of data and analysis thereof. Some of the questions we will explore include:

• How do we analyze and interpret financial statements?
• What is a data-driven organization?
• What data may be available that goes beyond the financial? How can we leverage this?
• What tools are available for analysis?
• How can we align strategy and data?

We will also explore a real-world example of financial statement interpretation and to what extent financial performance is reflected in share value.
