Getting the Facts Straight

The first session will go over basic financial terms. Then, participants will explore their role in company finances as well as important players in an organization’s finances. To wrap up the session, participants will receive some resources for learning about the governing organizations in their area.

The Accounting Cycle

Next, participants will learn about the four phases of the accounting cycle. They will also learn about key underlying concepts, including cash vs. accrual methods of accounting.

The Key Reports

In this session, participants will take a close look at balance sheets and income statements. They will also review cash flow statements and statements of retained earnings. The session will conclude with a review activity.

Keeping Score

This session will explain the chart of accounts and single vs. double entry accounting.

A Review of Financial Terms

Day Two will start with a review exercise and an introduction to some additional financial terms.

Understanding Debits and Credits

This session will de-mystify two terrifying accounting terms: debits and credits.

Your Financial Analysis Toolbox

This session will give participants some sources for financial data as well as tips on weeding out useless information. We’ll also cover how to calculate common ratios, how to read an annual report, and some useful decision making tools.

Identifying High and Low Risk Companies

In this session, participants will learn about some guidelines for identifying high and low risk companies. Then, they will practice these guidelines in a case study.

The Basics of Budgeting

Next, participants will learn what a budget is, how their budget should fit into the big picture, and what the budgeting process should look like.

Working Smarter

This session will give participants a basic checklist of computer skills required for success. We’ll also talk about how to choose an accounting package.

People and Numbers

Dealing with finances isn’t all numbers. What if an employee’s expense report doesn’t look correct? Or what if you have to make cuts to someone’s pay? Participants will examine each situation in small groups, and then provide some tips on what to do.
