Reading Financial Statements
March 20, 2019 — 9:00 - Noon
Presented by Timothy J. Gavin, CPA, Senior Audit Manager, John Kasperek, Co., Inc.
Description
Financial statements can be confusing and hard to read, and yet they provide some of the most valuable
information in assessing the financial health of an organization. With so much information that is
presented, it can be hard to separate what matters to you from what doesn’t. This session will
demonstrate how to interpret the numbers and notes in a standard financial report and show how to best use the information to understand an organization. Whether you’re a manager, board member, or other stakeholder, making sense of a financial report is key in making informed decisions.
Objectives:
· Understand the basics of financial report structure.
· Read and interpret the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows.
· Analyze the note disclosure.
· Identify the information most important in analysis and decision-making.
