We look to see that the tables are complete, dates are correct, and tie up all of the other ends so the pack can be distributed on time to the Board.We go through all this drama and stress every month or quarter only to have the Board wave through the financials as approved without asking any questions, at least serious questions in our view. Why?Why? Very often its because we forget what the purpose or objective is in reporting. We forget its about communicating a message to the Board about how the organization is performing against what we said it was expected to do now and in the future.This communication involves both financial and non-financial information presented and distributed in a way that informs and educates others so they can make informed decisions confidently if required.Therefore reporting to the Board is not about accuracy of historical information. Its not about showcasing the output of the latest technology.

| "This course covers business valuation basics. The valuation process starts with understanding and calculating the data that must be compiled before applying the data to the valuation methods.Next, the course shows how to apply data to the Discounted Cash Flow Method, Capitalization of Earnings Method, and the Selling Market Method which is based on the multiples of which similar companies have sold (EBITDA, Book Value and Earnings). All three methods are then weighted to arrive at an estimated Fair Market Value of a business. The Fair Market Value estimated by the process is then validated by calculating a buyers return on equity in a fictitious sale of the company.Valuations limited to only financial data and calculations are technically referred to as the calculated value. A certified valuation professional would need to make a site visit and interview the appropriate personnel to understand any subjective adjustments that are needed in order to make the valuation compliant with IRS Ruling 59-60.

| "Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) are Standards against which the quality of audits are performed and judged. In the U.S., Standards are promulgated by the Auditing Standards Board (ASB), a division of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Since the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) has developed standards for publicly traded companies. Sections 103(a)(2)(A) and 404(b) of the SOX Act directed the Board to establish Professional standards governing the independent auditor's attestation and reporting on management's assessment of the effectiveness of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (ICFR).Auditing Standard 2 (AS2) was the initial standard released to provide public accounting firms guidance regarding the requirements to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley. Due to the many difficulties faced by firms and issuers in the early years of compliance, the PCAOB released Auditing Standard 5 (AS5) in 2007 which superseded AS2. AS5 was designed to provide clearer guidance and eliminate some of the questions that had plagued firms and companies through the initial years of attestation. AS5 is the auditing standard currently used when complying with SOX. However, it is important to have an understanding of AS2, its expectations and challenges be able to appropriately scope and understand the transition to AS5. This course will provide an outline of both legislations and highlight the challenges and applications of the standards. It is important for professionals to have a strong understanding of the concepts outlined in both auditing standards and the impetus for change that resulted in AS5. This course is designed to provide a strong understanding of these concepts."

| "The Theory, Mechanics, and Basics of Accounting" |
| "The business world we live and work in would not be able to operate without a reliable method for recording the effects of transactions. A systematic method of recording transactions is necessary if companies such as IBM and General Electric (and even local clothing stores and restaurants) are to generate information with which to make sound business decisions. This systematic method, termed the accounting cycle, has existed for centuries and still works well today. How does the system that captures and processes this information work and why do you need to know about it? This course addresses those questions.Businesses buy and sell goods or services; borrow and invest money; pay wages to employees; purchase land, buildings, and equipment; distribute earnings to owners; and pay taxes to the government. These activities are referred to as exchange transactions because the entity is actually trading (exchanging) one thing for another. To determine how well an entity is managing its resources, the results of transactions must be analyzed. The accounting cycle makes the analysis possible by recording and summarizing an entitys transactions and preparing reports that present the summary results.In this course, the debit and credit technique of transaction analysis that has been used by accountants for over 500 years is explained. Although not necessary for an understanding of financial statements, debits and credits provide a useful shorthand for summarizing complex transactions. So get ready for a discussion of double-entry accounting, a system described by the German philosopher Goethe as among the finest inventions of the human mind.If you would like Continuing Education Credit (e.g. CPE, CE, CPD, etc.) for this course, it is available if you take this course on the Illumeo dot com platform under course title: The Mechanics, Basics and Theory of Accounting.
