This course will benefit all lawyers - whatever their field and number of years PQE - who may have to analyse and interpret accounting information whether in relation to client activity or who want to feel more confident in analysing their own practice’s financial performance and risk.

This course assumes that you are already comfortable with the key concepts covered in Finance Fundamentals 1 and accordingly we highly recommended that you go on that course before attending this course.

The course is highly practical with numerous case studies and exercises to bring the theory to life.

By the end of this course you will be able to:

• Understand how to analyse and interpret a set of accounts
• Key ratios to help with analysis

• Recognising company distress
• Potential limitation of financial analysis
• Appreciation that there are different accounting regulations that affect companies depending on their size and whether they are listed or not
