Understanding Financial Statements

Financial statements provide critical insight into the financial health, performance, liquidity and risk position of an organisation. However, many professionals find it difficult to connect accounting terminology with business meaning, especially when reading Balance Sheets, Profit & Loss Accounts and Cash Flow Statements.

This programme helps participants understand the purpose, structure and relationship between key financial statements. It focuses on reading the Balance Sheet, interpreting profitability and cash flow, analysing financial ratios, identifying trends and red flags, and using financial insights to support managerial and business decisions.
