Director Finance: What Every Director Should Know


Conference April 15, 2005 in Arizona

Walk away from this program with an understanding of financials from the BOARD's perspective and a clear idea of how to detect financials that are misleading or worse yet, fraudulent. Even if you only have a basic understanding of balance sheets and income statements, you will end the day feeling like a pro.

The full-day course explains the underlying meaning and purpose of corporate finances, as well as providing the skills to detect numerical tricks. Special attention is given to off balance sheet transactions, special purpose entities and other partnerships. You'll also learn what questions to ask about an audit, how to tell if that impressive accounting firm is doing a good job, how to define the role of the audit committee and the board, and how to recognize the red flags of unethical management, stressed management, fraud, and ineffective auditors.
