An investment banking internship program will typically include some training. The training typically involves learning almost a whole first year university introductory accounting course and this can be taught over a few days to a week. This course is designed to help you to grasp the basics of accounting so that the experience is less daunting and overwhelming. By completing this before your internship or university course you will be able to make the most of your teaching and feel prepared. You should be able to focus on the details about your specific desk or university course without struggling to grasp the basics. Yes this is accounting for interns - but it is also accounting for everybody else. This course will not only be helpful to incoming summer analysts or first year university students nervous about their accounting modules. It will also be a useful tool for individuals who have forgotten what they learned about accounting who need a refresh before starting a new job. Even for those who work outside of the finance sector, being able to understand the financial statements of clients or companies within an industry is an important skill. And being able to perform a basic analysis of these financials? Even better. Whether you are interested in taking a first look into the world of finance accounting or you need a bit of a refresh this is the course for you!
