Are you looking to get a better understanding of financial accounts? Take our course and learn the ins and outs of the profit and loss statement, the balance sheet, and the cash flow statement.
From explanation of accounting concepts to preparation of the financial statements, this course is very much about learning by doing, as you embark on preparing the 3 financial statements for a fictional business!
Get ahead of the game with our fantastic financial statement course today!
This course is the ideal option for those that are looking to get some explanation of the structure of the profit and loss statement, the balance sheet, and the cash flow statement. We will also deal with how these financial statements are linked together.
The course is perfect for all those outside the finance profession but looked to get some insights into how to understand and prepare the financial statements.
· Understand how specific types of financial transactions will affect the company’s financial statements. This includes everything from capitalizing the company, taking loans from banks, buying equipment and stock, making sales, and paying staff salaries. We will even investigate how to account for cash injections, making acquisitions, and making dividend payments.
· During this course, you will become familiar with how to prepare basic financial statements.
· You will also learn what each specific line means in each of the financial statements, so you won’t be baffled with terminology going forward.
Techniques and Methodologies taught:
· Difference in accounting standards. GAAP vs IFRS
· Reading, interpretation and preparation of the Profit and Loss account (Income Statement), which will provide information around the financial performance during a period of time.
· Reading, interpretation and preparation of the Balance Sheet, which provides us with an ‘imperfect’ measure of the net worth of the business
· Reading, interpretation and preparation of the Cash Flow Statement, which tells us about the quality of the profit, as well as providing us with useful information about investment and financing for the business.
This course is like no other. Sometimes we learn be being told, sometimes we learn by being shown, and other times we learn by doing.
In this course you will learn in all three ways, with several assignments and quizzes, where you be able to prepare the financial statements yourself.
Most importantly, we will pretend to set up a new company from inception, and capitalize it, lend to it, transact in it, and see how all these transactions impact the P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement. There is no better way to learn it!
