Description

We mostly focus on the income statement, but what about other financial statements and countless other accounting concerns?  This seminar is dedicated to breaking down common balance sheet issues, both on-the-books and off, that have an impact on our stakeholders and the value of the organization.  Using practical analysis, we highlight several key tools in understanding and communicating the importance of the forgotten cornerstone of accounting: the balance sheet. Most notably, we dedicate time to the pressing issue of “unrecorded assets”.  This session is designed to also be fun and entertaining. This seminar stands on its own but is also part of the Common Sense CFO series.
