Better financial decisions start with knowing how your organization's numbers are put together. This 60-minute finance and accounting 101 webinar gives managers a basic understanding of the accounting framework and how it relates to profitability.
You'll look at the conceptual framework, the divisions of the ledger and the main financial statements: the balance sheet, the income statement, cash flows and the statement of changes in financial position, plus notes and supplementary schedules. The session also explains suspense accounts, extraordinary items and taxation, so you can follow what these items mean for results.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Managers who understand accounting basics can see how their day-to-day decisions affect profitability and can talk with finance teams on equal terms. Knowing how the ledger feeds the balance sheet, income statement and cash flow figures makes reports far easier to follow.
