Understanding Financial Statements is designed for business owners, managers, accountants, bankers, and consultants who need to know how to turn financial statements into useful management tools. During this course, participants will be able to identify key business information that is captured on a Profit and Loss Statement and Balance Sheet. They will learn to calculate several useful ratios, and understand what those ratios indicate in terms of business productivity and success. Participants will leave this session with a greater understanding of how to read and interpret financial documents, and use that information to drive business decisions.
