Use Of Analytical Procedures (Aps) For Accountants, Auditors, Financial Analysts And Others

Recorded Session
60 Minutes

Financial statements can be overwhelming. Directors, auditors, regulators, investors and others need to focus on unusual transactions and events, accounting and business changes, and misstatements. This 60-minute webinar covers one of the main tools for doing that: financial statement analytical procedures (APs) aimed at bank areas of concern.

You'll work through historical trend analysis, including dollar, percentage and common-size analysis of the balance sheet and income statement.

The session then covers profitability, capital, asset quality, liquidity and productivity ratios, actual vs forecast comparisons, financial statement interrelationships and industry statistics, with computational examples and what the results mean.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Analysts need to turn large amounts of data into manageable pieces that point to unexpected changes. Analytical procedures give you a focused way to do it.

This session suits bank directors, managers, officers, controllers, treasurers, internal and external auditors, compliance officers, risk managers, general counsel, regulators, investors and financial analysts.
