The main learning objective of this course is to familiarize students with large-scale financial reporting and capital market information databases and to improve students' quantitative analytical skills in conjunction with these data. We will discuss financial reporting, consumer finance, and corporate governance topics. Students will gain hands-on data analysis experience using Tableau, Excel, and R. Students will learn how to apply scientific research methods to answer questions, present solutions, and discuss limitations. We will provide a brief overview of the concepts of probability and statistical inference. Relying on the above tools and methodology, students enhance their analytical skills and ultimately achieve deeper understanding on issues related to financial reporting, auditing, and capital markets.
