Strategic Financial Statement Analysis
5 days|Delivered on request
Strategic Financial Statement Analysis looks at this work from the level at which it is resourced and defended. The focus is on audit readiness, working capital management and how both connect to what the organisation is actually trying to achieve. This matters at the strategic level because reporting standards keep moving and finance teams carry the consequence of getting them wrong. Delegates leave able to work confidently with financial statement preparation, budgeting and variance analysis and fraud detection in their own organisation.
