Overview
Ratios, ratios and more ratios! What do they really mean? Many financial professionals, including bankers, use financial ratios on a regular basis. But do they always use the same ratios and more importantly, do they always interpret the ratios in the same manner?
Attend this proactive seminar and learn a “five-step” analysis plan to calculate the key ratios covering liquidity, activity, leverage, operating performance and cash flow analysis and correctly interpret the financial condition of the business client. Upon completion of this seminar, the bank employee also will be able to better negotiate with their business clients, as well as other financial professionals.
The session also will include a review of “spreading” a financial statement using Moody’s Lending Cloud software in order to better analyze the key ratios. This section also will include the bankruptcy (Z-score) predictor and sustainable growth models. Two case analyses will be presented to illustrate the main concepts associated with key ratio analysis.
