Course overview

This course will provide you and your team with the skills you need to understand and analyse balance sheets.

The Balance Sheet may appear a humble document and is often overlooked in favour of the Profit and Loss Account or Income and Expenditure Account, however it holds significant amounts of vital information on how an organisation is performing financially. Having only a simple understanding of it and reading it at face value can lead to poor decisions being made.

The aim of this Balance Sheet course is to ensure that all participants leave with a far greater understanding of what might be behind the numbers. They will leave this course with the ability to ask the right questions and to consider why the numbers on the Balance Sheet are as they are.

You can also find more details of how we do this on our bespoke learning page.
