Business and financial transactions are transformed into financial statements through an accounting process. Three required statements are produced: - Income Statement
- Balance Sheet
- Cash Flow Statement
The statements provide the "results" of business activity and not the "reasons". To sufficiently understand the reasons, you must look at relevant ratios. These ratios are standard indications of business reasons and serve as the basis for key business decisions. They are derived from a combination of calculations of components of the financial statements to indicate a unique and universally accepted metric or measurement. You can glean relevant indications of the company's success from these metrics. They become the "language" through which we can understand business activity and use them to analyze financial statements. You can also compare one company to another or one financial period to another. In this practical webinar, you will learn how to convert the results indicated on financial statements to the reasons needed to improve profits and productivity, providing a lens into the company to drive profitable change.
