The Forensic Analysis Bootcamp is back!

Improve your performance

Would you like to get better at dissecting company accounts and spotting signs of potential fraud and earnings management?

After a sold-out first edition, my Forensic Analysis Bootcamp is back for a second 2024 cohort, starting October 21.

A superb group of 30 professional analysts and serious private investors joined the first Bootcamp. And the feedback was fantastic…

“Can thoroughly endorse Steve Clapham’s Forensic Analysis Bootcamp. The manner in which Steve systematically dissects a set of accounts is very insightful. Even those analysts and PMs with a good grounding in accounts analysis will benefit from attending this course. “

James Chapman, PM at Columbia Threadneedle

“If you are serious about managing downside risk in your portfolio, this is the course for you. Full of practical advice and tools that you can apply from day one”

Roman, Credit Analyst, Japan

“I spent more than 15 years as a sell-side analyst and I wish I had done Steve’s course at the start of my career. In fact, it should be mandatory for anyone responsible for analysing companies and their accounts”

Chris, Former sell-side analyst, London

“Valuable course detailing the multitude of ways companies manipulate their accounts. It has provided me with a useful framework for how to approach a set of accounts and the key red flags to look out for. I would recommend it to any serious financial analyst”

Andrew Fargus, Investment Manager at Vintage Asset Management

I am even offering an Early Bird Discount to my lovely Substack subscribers. These are limited in number and will expire at the latest by September 30. Simply use the code EARLYBIRD at checkout. (Premium subscribers: please get in touch with me for an extra discount).

The web page tells you more about the course which is modelled on my institutional course, taken by over 800 analysts and portfolio managers at the world’s largest and smartest investors, including hedge funds, long only funds, credit funds, banks, and some of the world’s wealthiest family offices.

The course runs every Monday at 12.30pm EST, 5.30pm London time, for 60-90 minutes per session over 8 weeks from October 21. You will become faster, more efficient and more accurate at analysing financial statements.

Like last time, places on this training are limited and are expected to sell out.

P.S. If you work as an analyst, there is a good chance your employer will pay for you to take it. Please email info@behindthebalancesheet.com and I’ll send you a template for making your case. And if you live in New York, I am running some in-person sessions there in November - contact me.
