“During the next 8 weeks we will be running a marathon. I will be leading this course on financial reporting and will do it the Chicago Booth way. We will start learning the basics of financial reporting—I´ll introduce the major financial statements that companies issue, and using these financial statements we will learn about strategies for companies. Later in the program we will perform financial statement analysis and learn about tax reporting. We will also learn about the consolidation of financial statements when companies gain control over each other.”

“Professor Sapra is an amazing teacher. He is able to relate accounting concepts to the real world, which made our learning extremely applicable to the man on the street. One key takeaway from Professor Sapra: learning never stops. It’s more important to learn how to ask the right questions, than it is to have all the answers. This is as true for the MBA student, as it is for any executive who is taking this course.”

“I signed up as I wanted to refresh my knowledge, and I was pleased to find a much more complete and comprehensive program than I first expected. I have not only updated my knowledge, but have expanded it, and the program got me to study and reawaken my desire to learn.”

Óscar Vicente Prieto

“Happy and with a feeling that I haven’t had since my University years. If your goal is to grow and learn so you that can improve your professional career or organization, without a doubt this program has a lot to offer. You will exit your comfort zone and it will be challenging, but you will value the investment and effort when you finish the program.”
