Overview

In week 3, we will focus on financial forecasting techniques. Prior to that, we will begin by examining common size analysis and reviewing a variety of financial accounts that are necessary for basic forecasting. We will establish some straightforward assumptions for forecasting the balance sheet and income statement. Ultimately, we will introduce how to use a parsimonious model to forecast financial outcomes over multiple years.
