1-Day Workshop on Understanding Financial Statements and Annual Reports


Course Description

Reading and understanding financial statements and annual reports can be a daunting task for many of us, especially if we are non-finance professionals and investors, not only in our work but also as stakeholders of other public-listed entities.

We often find ourselves deterred from our attempts to delve into the myriad of information presented in financial statements and their overwhelming details that are separately noted in the annual reports.

This 1-day course is designed to explain the more complicated terms commonly found in the financial statements of most business entities and also to provide you with a more practical and insightful experience with reading and understanding financial statements.

Specifically, this workshop describes the three major financial statements, namely, the Balance Sheet, Income Statement (including the Statement of Comprehensive Income) and the Statement of Changes in Equity published in the annual report of an exchange-listed company.

Relevant accounting principles and procedures, such as the Dual Aspect and Matching principles, and Double-entry (debit and credit) Accounting will feature in the lectures along with practical illustrations and exercises.

This workshop will enhance your confidence and make your experience more rewarding when reading financial statements and annual reports.
