About this Seminar
Financial statements are the key to understanding the financial position and performance of a company. They provide users with information on the financial health of a company, and provide clues as to how well the company is performing, vis a vis companies in the same industry. A clear understanding of financial statements and the basis on which they are drawn up will assist lawyers to better assess if explanations by clients on their financial standing are indeed appropriate.
