(Note: The prerequisite readings are intended as introductory material and are not part of the official Level I curriculum.) The CFA® Program assumes basic knowledge of Economics, Quantitative Methods, and Financial Statements as presented in introductory university-level courses in Statistics, Economics, and Accounting. Level I CFA Program candidates who do not have a basic understanding of these concepts or would like to review these concepts can study from any of the three prerequisite reading volumes. Volume 3 covers the basics of Financial Statement Analysis, including financial reporting, income statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements, inventories, long-lived assets, income taxes, non-current liabilities, and applications of financial statement analysis.
