Financial Statement Analysis: Tools and Techniques
3 days|Delivered on request
This is a hands-on programme. Delegates spend most of the time working through internal controls and management accounting on live scenarios rather than listening to theory about them. The practical emphasis is deliberate: reporting standards keep moving and finance teams carry the consequence of getting them wrong, and reading about the method has repeatedly proved insufficient. Delegates leave able to work confidently with consolidation, fraud detection and financial statement preparation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Bring consolidation into line with current good practice, measured against IFRS
- Take ownership of fraud detection rather than escalating it
- Spot where financial statement preparation is failing before it becomes a finding
- Put working capital management on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
