No matter what business situation you are in, financial statements provide the information you need. Sure, you can ask an accountant to read the financial statements. However, since most accountants are not experts in your field their analysis would be less than your own.
Here’s the reality, you don’t need an accountant to do your job. But, you do need financial statement information to help with many business decisions.
The good news, is that you can understand financial statements on your own and apply that information in your field better than an accountant unfamiliar with the business.
I’m Dr Eric Knight, I am a CPA with over 20 years’ experience in business and academics.
I’ve designed this course to explain financials in a thorough but straightforward manner without the complexities.
You’ll be introduced to the financial statement information. Then, you learn how to analyze financial statements.
- I’m not just going to provide formulas but I’ll explain why you need the ratios and how to apply them to a business.
- I’ll demonstrate using real world company data to see the story of the business behind the financial information.
- You will learn where you can exploit a business opportunity.
In addition to case studies and examples, you can complete the project consisting of discussion questions offering you an opportunity to apply the information to your own field.
There are no prerequisites needed to benefit from this course. A basic understanding of business will do.
Whatever field you are in, make understanding financial statements your new skill!
