Understanding Financial Information  

Current and potential employees, lenders, and shareholders read company financial statements with a different goal or purpose in mind. They use financial statements in a variety of ways, seeking information specific to their needs. This course provides an overview of the basic financial statements and how to interpret the information presented within the statements and footnotes. Since there are many financial statement users, the course is designed for nonaccountants. This basic level course is most beneficial to professionals new to this topic who may be at the staff or entry level in organization but also for a seasoned professional with limited exposure to this topic.
