This course helps you understand the flow of accounting, including identifying economic events and how they are reported in financial statements. The course will also demonstrate how the Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Reconciliation of Net Worth, and Cash Flow Statement are developed and connected to each other. Since the instructor is a banker, the approach to the credit analysis process will be from a banker’s perspective. Case studies will be used to reinforce concepts presented.

A banker’s understanding of accounting fundamentals is essential to the application of sound financial statement and credit analysis. Accounting is the language employed to communicate financial information. It is the process of identifying and measuring economic events, then classifying, recording, and summarizing the measurements and reporting the information to permit judgments and decisions by the users. Bankers rely on this accountant-prepared information to make such decisions.
