Course Overview
This engaging 1 hour session will take you on a journey to explore the key financial statements from a non-accountant’s point of view. Delivered through a mix of real-world examples, interactive discussions and hands-on exercises, the tutor will highlight the importance of understanding what questions to ask and how they can help you understand an organisation’s financial health through its financial statements.
Course Content
The session focuses on demystifying finance by reframing it not as a numbers game but as a way of telling a business’s story.
There is no complicated maths or accountancy expertise required to attend this session, staying true to the core message that "finance is not about the maths, it's about the story,"
You will gain a clearer understanding of:
- How strategy and financial performance are closely linked
- The purpose of core financial documents
- Balance Sheet (Statement of Financial Position)
-Income Statement (Profit and Loss Account)
-Cash Flow
The session will introduce a structured approach to understanding the health viability of a business through asking the right questions and the key health indicators that can be applied by anyone.
Benefits
The session will equip you with a simple but powerful checklist approach for assessing financial health (either for your own business or others). This will help boost confidence in financial discussions.
You will be encouraged to see beyond just the figures to the story they tell and hence, make better business decisions.
