Practice Drills: Reading a Company Balance Sheet Line by Line
A hands-on drill course for non-finance employees, treasury teams, HR and L&D professionals, and startup founders who need to read a balance sheet from the inside. You will work through one illustrative Indian manufacturer's two-year Schedule III balance sheet, line by line and note by note: fixed assets and capital work-in-progress, inventories and receivables, cash and investments, share capital and reserves, borrowings, payables and provisions. Every drill ends with the question a CFO, lender or board member would ask about that line, and the course closes with you reading a real listed company's balance sheet from its BSE filing on your own.
