Overview

Financial Ratio Analysis is a core professional skill for understanding how businesses perform, manage risk, and make strategic decisions. This course is designed to take learners from foundational concepts to advanced analytical applications, enabling them to confidently interpret financial statements and translate numbers into meaningful business insights.

The course begins with essential financial analysis principles, including the objectives of financial statement analysis and the methods used to evaluate organisational performance. Learners then develop a strong command of ratio analysis, exploring how profitability, liquidity, return, and efficiency ratios are used to assess business models, operational strength, and financial sustainability.

As the course progresses, learners gain deeper insight into return ratios such as ROA, ROCE, and ROE, alongside asset utilisation measures that reveal how efficiently resources are employed. Practical case studies and comparative analysis help learners understand how ratios differ across companies and industries, while also highlighting the limitations and risks of misinterpretation.

Advanced sections focus on DuPont analysis and the detection of financial manipulation, equipping learners with critical judgement skills used by analysts, managers, and decision-makers. The course also demonstrates how financial ratios support real managerial decisions, including pricing strategies, operational improvements, and performance evaluation.

By completing this course, learners will be able to analyse financial performance holistically, identify warning signs in financial reports, and communicate insights with clarity and confidence. These skills are highly transferable across finance, management, consulting, and business leadership roles.

Upon successful completion, learners will receive a free course completion certificate. For those requiring formal recognition, multiple premium certificate and academic transcript options are available for purchase. Learners also benefit from 5-star rated student support, with assistance available 24/7 via email throughout the course.

This course is suitable for finance professionals, business managers, analysts, entrepreneurs, and students seeking strong financial analysis skills. It is also ideal for non-finance professionals who work with financial reports and want to improve decision-making, performance evaluation, or strategic understanding.
No advanced accounting qualification is required. A basic awareness of business or financial concepts is helpful but not essential. Learners should be comfortable working with numbers and willing to engage with applied examples, case analysis, and structured financial reasoning.
This course supports progression into roles such as financial analyst, business analyst, management accountant, finance manager, investment analyst, or strategy consultant. It also provides a solid foundation for further academic or professional study in finance, accounting, or business management.
