Case for Open Discussion
?The financial statement sits imposingly in front of
you,a stream of numbers rolling endlessly down
the page,
?You are a new board member,studying the
numbers,hoping to decipher their meaning,Then
you are hit with the accounting jargon,balance
sheets and income statements; cash basis and
accrual basis,You think you hear the financial
statements quietly laugh at you,and you
begin to wonder if the board should hire
a psychiatrist instead of an accountant,
46
Suggested Questions
?How are financial statements prepared?
?Do they make things simpler?
?What information can we infer from these
statements?
?How can we make use of them?
