Description of the Course

“Financial Reports are as revealing of the HEALTH OF A BUSINESS as the pulse rate and blood pressure are indicators of the HEALTH OF A PERSON.”

A fundamental financial objective of all organizations is to be healthy and stable. The financial reports are the means of the company to summarize and communicate financial performance.

If all the organs and parts of the body contribute to the well-being of the person, it also follows that the different sections/departments of the company contribute to its financial condition.

The workshop aims to equip the participants with the knowledge and understanding of the contents of the basic financial reports so that they can link their role in the organization with the financial results of the business.
