Veelgestelde vragen over Balans lezen incompany

Waar vindt de incompany training Balans lezen plaats?

Wherever suits you: at your office, at one of our training locations or online. You also choose the date.

Can the content be tailored to our organisation?

Yes. Before the course we discuss with you what the group can already do, where things go wrong in practice and what should be different afterwards. The trainer uses examples and exercises from your own work.

How large can the group be?

That depends on the course. For a skills course we prefer to work with a small group, so that everyone can really practise. If more people are involved, we schedule several groups or set up a fixed programme.

Wat kost Balans lezen incompany?

Can the course be delivered in English?

Yes. For in-company courses we deliver the training in the language of your choice, Dutch or English. Mention it in your request.

Do participants receive a certificate?

Yes, every participant receives a certificate of attendance afterwards.

How do I request a quote?

Do I need prior financial knowledge for the Reading a Balance Sheet course?
No, you do not need a financial background to take part in the Reading a Balance Sheet course. The course starts with the basics and builds up your knowledge step by step. Concepts such as assets, liabilities and equity are explained clearly, with examples from practice. Whether you are a manager, business owner, adviser or account manager: you can join without any prior knowledge.
Who is the Reading a Balance Sheet course for?
The Reading a Balance Sheet course is suitable for professionals who have to assess financial figures without having a financial background. Think of account managers, advisers, financing specialists, financial analysts, managers, investors and business owners with a sole tradership, partnership or private limited company. Whether you are evaluating creditworthiness, assessing investments or simply want to understand your own company figures better: you learn to read the story behind the numbers.
Which topics are covered in the Reading a Balance Sheet course?
In the Reading a Balance Sheet course you cover the following topics: what a financial balance sheet is and why it matters, essential concepts such as assets, liabilities and equity, techniques for interpreting a balance sheet, the relationship with the profit and loss account and the cash flow statement, and practical case studies for spotting risks and opportunities.
Do I receive a certificate after the Reading a Balance Sheet course?
Yes, on completing the Reading a Balance Sheet course you will receive a certificate of attendance from Learnit. This certificate confirms that you have taken the course and have mastered the basic skills needed to read and interpret a financial balance sheet and link it to the profit and loss account and the cash flow statement.
Can the Reading a Balance Sheet course also be taken in-company?
Yes, the Reading a Balance Sheet course is also available in-company. You then arrange the course at your own location or online, on a date that suits your team. That is convenient when several colleagues want to get to grips with the balance sheet, the profit and loss account and the cash flow statement at the same time. The content can be tailored to your own figures and sector.
What is the difference between reading a balance sheet and understanding a profit and loss account, and does this course cover both?
The balance sheet and the profit and loss account (P&L) are two different financial statements. A balance sheet shows an organisation's assets, liabilities and equity at a single point in time. A snapshot. The P&L shows how a company has made a profit or loss over a period (usually a year). The cash flow statement is the third statement and shows where the money comes from and where it goes. The Reading a Balance Sheet course focuses on the balance sheet itself: assets, liabilities, equity and how to read the story behind the figures. It also explicitly covers the relationship between the balance sheet, the P&L and the cash flow statement, so that you understand how they complement one another. The course lasts
When should you choose a classroom-based Reading a Balance Sheet course, and when is e-learning or self-study via YouTube enough?
An e-learning or self-study works fine if you want a broad grasp of the basic concepts (assets, liabilities, equity) for general knowledge. You watch at your own pace and pay little or nothing. Learnit's classroom Reading Balance Sheets course is a better choice in three situations: you want to discuss balance sheets from your own working practice with a trainer, you are unsure how to interpret signals of financial risks or opportunities, or you need to substantiate decisions on investments, creditworthiness or supplier assessment. In the classroom you practise with case studies and receive direct feedback on your interpretation. That element is missing in self-study. For managers, entrepreneurs and advisers who actually have to use balance sheets in decision-making, that interaction usually outweighs the cost.
How do I know whether the Reading a Balance Sheet course fits my work, or whether I would be better off taking a broader financial course?
Learnit's Reading a Balance Sheet course focuses specifically on interpreting the balance sheet, with excursions into the profit and loss account and the cash flow statement. It suits you if financial reports land on your desk at work and you want to be able to interpret the figures in broad terms. Think of account managers, consultants, managers, entrepreneurs and investors. (classroom-based) teaches you about assets, liabilities, equity and how the statements relate to one another. Do you want to do the bookkeeping yourself, draw up annual accounts or give tax advice? Then you need a broader programme, such as a business administration programme or a tax course. If your aim is to make decisions based on other people's figures, this course is sufficient.
