Program Description: Every month...ok, maybe, maybe not...you
get financial statements. They look impressive – lots of columns, numbers, and ledger accounts, perhaps even a profit.

practically anyone without CPA in their title. Dexter explores financial statements and shows you how to get more from them than just kindling.
Program Objectives: Upon completion of this program, the viewer will be able to:
Identify the key components of a financial statement
Evaluate the most important areas of the financial statement to focus on
Discuss how financial statements can misrepresent the “true” performance
