This course will help you improve your internal financial reporting and make it more useful to readers.
We can all improve our internal financial reporting by finding better and more innovative ways to report monthly to our financial statement users: senior management and the board and owners who are involved. Internal financial reporting should result in better business decision-making driven from useful information. By working through a case to improve a company’s internal financial reporting, you will get more than 80 different ideas to improve your internal financial reporting that are not found in textbooks, but have wide applicability. We will also go beyond strict financial statement reporting and working on creating KPIs, which will help you create KPIs for your organization.
