Course
Whether you work in sales, operations, administration, or production, this course will help you see how your company measures success by showing you how money moves through a business — how revenue becomes profit, and how financial reports reveal company health. You will learn how a company’s income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statements each provide a different perspective on the health of the company. You will learn how healthy characteristics vary from industry to industry, for example, how a financially healthy software company differs from a financially healthy restaurant.
