Designed For:

CPAs, CFOs, and Controllers looking to improve profitability by streamlining expenses for their own organization or for their clients

Prerequisite:

Basic knowledge of budgeting

Part of one's duty as a CPA working in industry is to safeguard the assets of the organization. Cost cutting is one way to preserve assets and maintain a company's competitive position in the industry. However, what keeps us from ridding our organizations of unnecessary costs? In this course, we will look at the factors that prevent our companies from being as streamlined as they could be. By using statistics and survey data, we will attempt to show how to better negotiate and navigate budgeting and contracting decisions. We will also discuss financial statement analysis techniques, benchmarking, and cash flow management in an effort to better cut costs and maintain the long-run viability of an organization.

Delivery Method: Individual webcast
CPE Credit: Management services
