Debenhams Case Study

Debenhams Case Study is an online course explaining how investors could have identified multiple warning signals from Debenhams' accounts, without a detailed knowledge of the business. It looks in detail at the Debenhams 2018 accounts and shows what conclusions investors should have drawn about the future of the business. These accounts are full of warning signals which would have given the astute analyst cause to avoid if not outright short the stock. Debenhams Case Study goes right through the financial accounts, looking at all the financial statements. In fact, it has covered many of the areas which tend to be neglected by investors. This course is ideal for investors, analysts and portfolio managers who want to learn how to avoid trouble, to recognize warning signals, and most importantly to recognize earnings management.
