This unit is available in the second or third academic year. It provides accounting and finance students with a solid background in concepts of probability and applied probability. The unit emphasises practical rather than theoretical aspects, but contains sufficient material for students to feel comfortable with the basic properties of Brownian motion and time-series models at an introductory level. Other topics in probability include random variables and joint distributions, elementary ideas of conditional distributions and a survey of common distributions including the normal, log-normal, Bernoulli, Binomial and Poisson. Some statistical ideas related to the multivariate normal may be developed. Applications throughout are in terms of financial models.

This unit emphasises how parties external to the company employ publicly available information, company reports and financial market information to evaluate the current and predict the future financial condition of the company. The analytical techniques of financial statement analysis (e.g. fundamental analysis, cash flow analysis and pro forma analysis) and the issue of the 'reliability' and 'quality' of publicly available information are discussed and explored. Analytical tools are applied in different decision contexts such as equity valuation, mergers and acquisitions, lending decisions and the evaluation of managerial performance.
