Description

Legal professionals are expected to have basic financial skills and are encouraged to understand budgeting as part of project management in order to better serve clients and their respective organizations. This course is designed to provide lawyers and other legal support professionals a baseline of financial knowledge and skill to read, interpret and act upon financial documents. Financial literacy is a fundamental skill of the modern legal professional today, and a working knowledge of finance is imperative in meeting client expectations and practicing at the highest levels of the law.

As accounting scandals threaten to erode confidence in corporate America, legal professionals are increasingly involved in preparing and analyzing financial statements. From financial statement reporting to detecting fraud, this course is designed to provide an overview of accounting techniques, their relevance, and problems associated with each.
