About the Program:  As an admin, you hear accounting and financial jargon every day… “What’s the ROI for this project? We operate on a cash basis, not accrual. This project will go straight to the bottom line.  EBITDA, FASB, GAAP, FIFO/LIFO, IPO, Sarbanes-Oxley…”  Knowing what it all means will help you join in the conversation about this important aspect of your business.  This 90-minute lunch time program will help you

• Increase comprehension of basic accounting terminology
• Understand what income statements and balance sheets portray
• Evaluate the financial status of your organization

And much more.
