This module immerses learners in the critical skill of financial investigation. By dissecting famous real-world financial disasters such as Enron and WeWork, learners will develop a sharp eye for detecting flawed assumptions and structural weaknesses. The focus is on building the analytical muscle needed to question the story a model is telling and understand how minor errors can lead to catastrophic valuation failures.
