This training program will explore the vital world of advanced financial statement analysis. This session will include a review of the four financial statements and a five-step analysis model including liquidity, activity, leverage, operating performance, and cash flow. It will also review the Z-score (bankruptcy predictor) and the sustainable growth models. The webinar is a must for all commercial lenders and credit administrators.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

This webinar will demonstrate a comprehensive approach to financial statement analysis. The session will begin with analyzing the four financial statements - income statement, statement of retained earnings, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows. This will include revenue and expense recognition, FIFO, LIFO and average inventory costing models, operating expenses (repairs) versus improvements, depreciation including straight-line, units-of-production, and double-declining balance, amortization, and depletion.

The webinar will also explore accounts receivable assessment, allowance for doubtful accounts, intangible assets, accounts payable assessment, capital, and operating leases, and analysis of the equity section of the balance sheet including partners' capital accounts, common and preferred stock, treasury stock, stock splits and retained earnings. Additionally, the types or levels of financial statements will be highlighted including company-prepared, compiled, reviewed, and audited. The audited financial statements will include unqualified, qualified, adverse, and disclaimer.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• An introduction to a five-part financial statement analysis model which will include:
• Liquidity: How to determine the true cash position of a company by eliminating certain current asset accounts from the working capital, current ratio, and quick ratio calculations

• Leverage: How to calculate the debt versus equity position of a business and adjust the calculation through the use of a subordination agreement
• Operating Performance: How to gauge a company's true profitability and the difference between accrual versus cash basis income statements
• Cash Flow: calculate, interpret, and apply cash flow models including traditional EBITDA, fixed-charge coverage, free cash flow (FCF), cash basis cash flow, and uniform credit analysis cash flow (UCA)
• A review of related topics of the Z-score (bankruptcy predictor) and the sustainable growth models
• Case studies to illustrate the five-part analysis model and the correct interpretation of the financial statements
