What You’ll Learn

The unique regulatory framework, accounting and business model of insurance companies create challenges in the areas of financial statement analysis, forecasting and valuation. This intensive 2-day course is designed to equip professionals engaged in the analysis of insurance firms with the practical financial skill set they need on the job. We will analyze the financial statements of both P&C and life insurers and then build a forecast and valuation model for a real-life P&C insurance company.
