Learning objectives

The course aims to develop the student’s capability to understand and scrutinize corporate groups' governance mechanisms, reporting processes and financial performances. The course particularly helps developing the student’s ability to prepare a consolidated financial statement according to both the Italian law and the international financial reporting standards (Ias/Ifrs). At the end of the learning process and coherently with the course aims, the student must demonstrate its ability understand the corporate group economics and the consolidated financial statement discipline. The student must also be able to solve practical exercises about the preparation and interpretation of the consolidated financial statement.

Prerequisites and basic notions

There are no prerequisites. However, students are encouraged to have at least a basic understanding of accounting and financial reporting, with particular attention to the impact of transactions on financial statement values and the valuation of equity investments in financial statements. Students without this knowledge are encouraged to ask the instructor for recommendations for introductory readings.

Didactic methods

The teaching methods consist of lectures, exercises, case study analyses and company testimonials.

Learning assessment procedures

The exam consists of a written test, consisting of three questions. The test aims to test knowledge of the entire program and is divided into three questions. There is always an application section. The test is passed if all questions are answered correctly. A group assignment analyzing the disclosures provided in the consolidated financial statements of Italian listed companies provides a bonus in addition to the passing grade on the written test.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The questions are structured to test the student's level of knowledge of the various parts of the program. The assessment aims to assess this level of knowledge and the ability to apply it to practical situations.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

Each question is graded out of 30. The final grade represents the average of the grades obtained in the three questions. However, the student must provide at least a passing grade (18/30) for each of the three questions.
