This exercise-intensive course for finance professionals covers frequently encountered areas of accounting you wont find in introductory courses. We start with how financial statements are adjusted by companies and analysts to show "non-GAAP" results. Then we cover deferred taxes and the activities that create them. Next we cover inter-company investments, with a specific focus on the application of the equity method and consolidation method. We finish by addressing accounting issues that emerge from various debt-related activities, like original issue discount, PIKs, and capitalized interest.
