Due to the intensive nature of this session, it will not be offered via remote access.
Learn how to analyze and evaluate nonprofit financial statements and know what questions to raise for further analysis. Walk through a set of sample financial statements, focusing on definitions and relationships of numbers. What are some “red flags” to consider? What’s changed since last year within the financial statements? The program will also offer some key ratio analyses to use when assessing the financial health of a nonprofit.

- Analyze an organization’s financial statements for potential red flags
