Financial Statement Analysis for Governments and Non-Profits

Undergraduate / Graduate

This is a non-credit course available to Harris students only. This is a course on how to read, analyze, and discuss public sector organizations' financial statements. Financial statement analysis is a valuable skill for students interested in municipal finance and management consulting, but also for those interested in state and local government management, policy analysis, and many other fields. As such, this course is designed with all second year MPP students in mind, but is presented at the level of depth and sophistication that's expected of candidates for analyst roles in the public sector divisions of the credit rating agencies, investment banks, management consulting firms, and similar employers.
