Build a good foundation of the accounting process, financial statements, and other finance basics.
No, this course will not make you accounting experts but will enable you to talk the talk about your company or the one you are looking at. It will enable you to view the balance sheet of concern as if it was a photograph, while viewing the income statement as if a movie camera. While you may be looking at financial statements and try to discern an answer to your question, this course will help you think since just as important as the answer to the question you ask is often equally as important the answer to the question you didn’t even know to ask.
Learning Objectives
- You will be able to explain basic accounting terms, ratios and pertinent statements.
- You will be able to identify red flags as well enable you to compare to other companies or even industries.
- You will be able to recognize accounting concepts and financial statements that apply specifically and universally.
- You will be able to review core accounting concepts, related financial statements.
