Courses in Financial Statements

The financial statements are the document that concisely describes a company's financial position, performance and cash flows, and are the main tool investors, banks, shareholders and authorities use to assess an organisation's soundness. Master's programmes in Financial Statements train professionals able to prepare, interpret and analyse financial statements according to national and international accounting standards.

The programmes include Italian accounting standards and IFRS, preparation of annual and consolidated financial statements, financial statement analysis by ratios and cash flows, financial statements and taxation, business valuation, statutory audit, internal control, non-financial reporting and sustainability reporting. Lessons are taught by chartered accountants, auditors, administrative executives and university professors, with exercises on real business cases and closing simulations.

A master's in Financial Statements lets you acquire skills in correctly recording business transactions, valuing balance sheet items, consolidating groups, interpreting results and communicating data to internal and external parties. You learn to read beyond the numbers, identifying strengths, weaknesses and risks, and to support strategic decisions with reliable analysis.

Career opportunities include financial statements manager, financial reporting manager, controller, statutory auditor, financial analyst, chartered accountant, accounting and tax consultant, credit analyst and administrative manager. Opportunities exist in audit firms, companies, banks, professional firms, consulting firms and public administrations.

The spread of international standards and new sustainability reporting obligations makes financial statement skills increasingly in demand, including for medium-sized companies.

The value of this specialisation also lies in its versatility: those who can read a set of financial statements speak the language of banks, investors and company management, and can move easily between different sectors and roles.
