Join Bennett Jones and external facilitator Dr. John Friedlan for the second in our four-part Financial Statements and Financial Reporting Series.

Our second seminar deals with the income statement and will cover:

• What is income?
• Accrual vs. cash accounting
• Revenue recognition and matching
• Capitalizing vs. expensing
• Different measures of performance
• Earnings management
• Areas of flexibility in financial reporting

The seminar will have a practical focus. Examples from actual financial statements are used extensively to demonstrate the issues discussed.
