TAP Skills Development Workshops- Financial Statement Analysis:
Have you ever looked at a company’s financial statements and wondered they mean? What about the company’s performance can you tell from the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows?

Have you ever been asked to analyze a company’s financial statements in an interview? How is the company performing? Do they have enough cash to sustain operations? What is the debt to equity ratio?
