Accounting Fundamentals

This course is designed to provide an insight into the fundamentals of accounting aimed at providers and users of accounting information who have little or no accounting knowledge. An enjoyable and well-proven short course, it is designed to help managers, executives and any users of accounting information better understand the language of accounting. More importantly what accounting reports really mean.

We begin with some basics of accounting, then move quickly into the format, content, and meaning of accounting reports applicable to small, medium and large businesses.

The course aims to address questions like:

• How can you make informed business decisions from financial reports that you don’t understand?
• What should I be looking for in financial statements?
• How would your work life be different if you were comfortable understanding your organisation’s reports and the implications those reports have on both your day to day business along with the long term goals of your organisation?
