[New!]Full Day Seminar

Corporate Accounting

Hone Your Skills

Do you want to avoid sitting through another boring lecture seminar?  This session will give you the opportunity to collaborate with other professionals in a hands-on, interactive setting.  We have designed Corporate Accounting as four mini-seminars providing useful skills for all corporate accounting managers. 

Topics Discussed

  • Create Efficient Accounting Processes - Accounting managers are often under pressure to cut cost and improve efficiency but have little training in the process design skills that would allow us to make actual improvements.  This module will familiarize you with lean thinking techniques and provide an opportunity to collaborate with others to improve accounting processes.
  • Financial Statement Analysis - Financial ratios are an old-fashioned financial analysis tool.  Learn how to do a better job analyzing your company’s performance by combining both financial and non-financial data.  This is not your father’s financial analysis!
  • Understand Activity-Based Costing - This module will provide a major hands-on costing exercise to allow participants to compare the differences between activity-based costing and traditional cost accounting to understand why accurate costing is important. 
  • Develop Standards of Conduct - Corporate standards of conduct are a key element in creating an ethical corporate culture.  These standards are sometimes cold, incomprehensible documents which are written in legalese and painful to read.  This session will provide you a hands-on opportunity to create better ethical standards.
