This practical 90-minute primer is designed for lawyers new to financial statements, or in need of a refresher. Litigators and transactional lawyers alike will benefit from attending.

About the Program

Having a basic knowledge of financial statements is crucial for every well-rounded lawyer. The more you understand about financial statements, the better you’ll be able to counsel clients with confidence and use your financial understanding to your client’s advantage during negotiations or litigation. Attend this newly updated program with Canadian Chartered Professional Accountant, Andrew Mackenzie. Drawing on his experiences working with and teaching lawyers, Andrew will show you how to understand the basic structure of a financial statement and identify its key components. You’ll work through sample balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements, including examples for a small law firm. Don’t miss this opportunity to get the fundamental knowledge you need to understand financial statements encountered in day-to-day business, family, estates, and general civil litigation practice. Developing a working knowledge of financial statements will also help sole practitioners and principals of smaller law firms better understand their own financial performance and better manage their practice.
