Everyone who creates a budget, reports on their budget, or looks at financial statements does not need to know every tax law, accounting rule, or be a CPA to understand what they\u2019re looking at. This one-day workshop will take the mystery out of financial statements and concepts, so that the story the numbers are telling you is revealed to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Who Should Participate?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Board of Director members<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Department heads<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business Owners<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Project Managers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Family Business Successors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Account Executives\/Sales Leaders\/Consultants<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HR Professionals<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyone who looks at and wants to understand financials<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Why Participate?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make informed decisions about your department or organization<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better understand your budget and how accounts interact with one another<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spot warning signs or red flags quickly<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speak intelligently about the numbers based on how they affect your role<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lead with confidence<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How will I Participate?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interactive games will keep everyone thinking on their feet<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular group discussions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Case studies for real-world learning<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowledge checks after each section to ensure understanding of concepts<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><h3>Learning Objectives<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Understand commonly used terms<\/li>\n<li>Explain double entry accounting<\/li>\n<li>Learn what\u2019s found on the three common financial statements<\/li>\n<li>Explain GAAP &amp;
