Course Description

Crafting precise and compliant financial statements is a critical challenge faced by finance professionals, who must navigate a maze of requirements and standards. This course addresses this challenge by providing a comprehensive overview of the key principles essential for the accurate presentation of financial statements. Drawing primarily from the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), it covers vital topics such as balance sheet, income statement, comprehensive income, statement of cash flows, and the requisite notes for financial statements. Additionally, it delves into the specific considerations around changes in accounting principles. This course offers more than just theoretical knowledge; it equips participants with the ability to select, recognize, and recall various requirements and methods essential for presenting financial statements that meet the highest standards of accuracy and compliance.
