Financial statements are a key source of information regarding a business’ financial health and organizational structure. Meanwhile, they can also be misleading and rife with red flags about the business’ profitability, insolvency or stability. Inability to properly decode and utilize financial statements could have detrimental consequences for your legal practice, for example: neglecting to ask the right questions when working with financial experts; wasting time and money when dealing with financial issues; or worse yet, failing to protect and advocate your clients’ legal interests.

It is paramount that, as a lawyer, you have a strong working knowledge in how to interpret and utilize financial statements to be a better and more credible legal professional.

Attend The Lawyers’ Guide to Interpreting and Utilizing Financial Statements in Legal Practice presented by The Canadian Institute in June, and build on your financial knowledge over the two-day course. You will walk away with essential accounting principles down pat. Additionally, you will learn the ability to address tricky financial issues that commonly arise in legal matters. Above all, you will work more effectively with financial experts and your own clients, and reduce the risks of negligence or liability in your legal practice!

We look forward to seeing you in June 2010!
