Money Matters: Understanding the Balance Sheet (Session 3)

A strong understanding of business finances requires more than knowing profits and cash flow. In the final session of the three-part Money Matters series, participants will learn how to read and interpret a Balance Sheet.

This session will explore assets, liabilities, and equity, providing a snapshot of what a business owns, owes, and retains. Participants will learn how the Balance Sheet works alongside the Income Statement and Cash Flow Statement to provide a complete picture of financial health.

By the end of the series, business owners will have a stronger understanding of the three core financial statements and how they can be used to support informed decision-making and long-term business success.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the purpose and components of a Balance Sheet

Identify assets, liabilities, and equity

Learn how to assess financial position and stability

Understand the relationship between all three financial statements

Apply financial information to support business planning and growth

While each session can be attended independently, participants are encouraged to attend all three sessions to develop a comprehensive understanding of the financial statements commonly used to evaluate and manage a business.
