Background
Financial statements tell the story of a business. The abundance of data contained in the financial statements urges the board and management of business organizations to rely upon them in coming up with sound decisions and in plotting the future of the business. More importantly, investors, creditors, suppliers, and analysts depend on the financial statement data in assessing the financial health of a business. Hence, it becomes imperative for both the preparers and users of financial statements to clearly figure out the structure and contents of the financial statements.

This seminar provides the participants with a comprehensive knowledge on the various elements that comprise the financial statements, including their nature, classification, measurement, and presentation. It covers the accounting information system that the business must put in place to ensure that financial statements are fairly presented and generated on time. Discussions will include the interrelationship of accounts and the links among the different financial statements. The seminar concludes with analyzing the contents of the financial statements to make them more meaningful to users.
