Accounting For Non Accountants : Debit, Credits And Financial Statements

Recorded Session
60 Minutes

Accounting for non-accountants starts with the ledger. This 60-minute webinar explains how the parts of the financial ledger fit within your organization's accounting and reporting structure, and how debits and credits flow through to the financial statements.

You'll cover the basics of financial accounting and its conceptual framework, the divisions of the ledger, and how to read a balance sheet, a statement of cash flows and the other financial statements.

The goal is practical: to help managers who aren't accountants understand the numbers behind the decisions they make every day.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Corporate decisions depend on a sound understanding of financial records, so managers outside accounting must be able to read financial statements and interpret them before they make operational choices. This session builds that skill from the ledger up.

The session suits internal auditors, financial managers, purchasing and procurement managers, and operational managers.
