Quality of Earnings Engagements & Analysis
Arguably no document is more important during the transaction process than the quality of earning (QoE) report. The course also emphasizes the accountant’s role in preparing or reviewing QoE reports during mergers, acquisitions, or investor due diligence. Learn the process for developing, selling, and completing this deliverable. As part of this course, we will also review case studies to help sharpen critical thinking, reconciliation and communication skills. ​​
