Understanding Company Accounts
Objectives
This training programme is
designed to give delegates confidence in reading and understanding company
accounts, particularly plc annual reports and the accounting information
available about private companies in the UK. It is an ideal foundation course for
anyone involved in credit assessment, competitor analysis and credit control.
It tackles the subject in a highly practical way, demystifying the jargon and
avoiding unnecessarily complex explanations of accounting standards.
