Cashflow analysis

About the training Cashflow analysis

During the training you will learn to use the principles, operation and function of a cashflow statement as a tool for the financial analysis of a company. The different cashflows such as; operational, investment, financing and free cashflow are discussed. In addition, you learn to calculate the cashflow at a company so that you get a clear picture of the operation and place that a cashflow occupies in a financial analysis.

Are there noticeable increases or decreases in certain items on the cashflow statement? How does this affect the cashflow? Does this correspond to the explanatory statement? In this way you learn to analyze the cashflow and form an opinion about the items and the amount of these items. For example, you will learn to use cashflow analysis as a tool in financial analysis and credit assessment. After completing this practice-oriented training, you will be able to make, analyze and assess a cashflow analysis.

In addition, you will learn to identify, calculate and analyse the most important ratio's (such as the Solvency ratio, the Interest Coverage ratio, the Debt Service ratio and the Debt/Ebitda). Ratio's and covenants ensure that financing risks remain manageable.

Because of your analysis of the cash flows, ratio's and covenants, there is no room for a different interpretation or manipulation of the performance. This allows you to form a good opinion about the financial situation of a company after the training.

Prior to the training, you will have access to FOI's digital learning environment. In preparation, you need to make the E-learning Cashflow analysis. This E-learning contains theoretical knowledge about cashflow analysis, which will make the training even more practice-oriented and effective.

The E-learning module is available online for 6 weeks, so you can repeat the material of the course. As a result, the learning objectives are better secured in practice.
