Course Information
Description
This course covers the fundamentals of modern financial analysis that are essential to anyone working in healthcare finance, strategy, consulting, or entrepreneurship. The course is taught through the lens of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of a healthcare organization. The course is organized around the skills and activities that a CFO will encounter over time: (i) Budgeting, operating performance reviews, forecasts, FP&A (ii) assessing projects, investments, expansions and growth within the company including how to look at returns on investment, and (iii) acquisitions including valuation, financing, and synergy analysis. Students will learn through lectures on these topics and then apply learning through real-life scenarios through the case method. The final project will be the evaluation of a company as an M&A target, requiring the students to assess the attractiveness of the acquisition, valuation of the asset, and identify key risks.
