This session has been designed for elected councillors that do not have an accounting background. We’ll cover all the fundamental topics that will help you to understand what it is you are reviewing in your business papers:

• The components of Financial Statements
• How to conduct a high level review of Annual Financial Statements
• Issues to look out for in Financial Statements
• Introduction to Depreciation

The sessions are conducted with your own council’s financial reports and are designed to be fun and engaging. The sessions will give you the confidence to know that you understand what you’re approving, and to question the things you are not comfortable with.
