Financial Ratio Analysis is a practical and strategic skill that enables professionals to evaluate business performance, identify risks, and support confident decision-making. This course provides a structured and applied understanding of how financial ratios are used to interpret profitability, liquidity, capital efficiency, and operational performance across organisations and industries.

Learners will begin by building a strong foundation in financial statement analysis, exploring the objectives and methods behind ratio analysis and understanding how ratios translate raw financial data into meaningful insights. The course then moves into detailed analysis of profitability ratios, return ratios, and efficiency measures, enabling learners to assess how effectively a business generates profits, utilises assets, and manages capital.

Advanced topics such as ROA, ROCE, DuPont analysis, and the detection of financial manipulation equip learners with analytical depth and professional judgement. Real-world case comparisons and strategic applications help bridge theory and practice, allowing learners to use ratio insights for pricing decisions, competitive analysis, and long-term planning.

By the end of the course, learners will be able to interpret financial performance holistically, identify red flags in financial statements, and communicate insights clearly to stakeholders. The skills gained are applicable across finance, management, consulting, and strategic roles.

Upon successful completion, learners will receive a free course completion certificate.

In addition, students benefit from 5-star rated learner support, with assistance available 24/7 via email throughout their learning journey.
