    Understanding Financial Mis-Statements (on demand webcast, 2.25 IL MCLE Credit) CLE IL 2.25 0.00

    This seminar focuses on understanding financial statements, intermediate level financial analysis and essential concepts underlying the presentation of financial information to assess their reliability. Lawyers will be able to ask better questions regarding the financial statements they need to review and analyze and/or to recognize when the level of complexity is such that they need to hire a forensic accountant to assist in that review and analysis.

    This is a hybrid event with an in-person and a webinar option. Please select the appropriate button when registering if you plan to attend in-person. Event will take place at Chicago Bar Association, 321 S. Plymouth Court, Chicago, IL, 60604

    An entity’s financial statements convey a great deal of significant information regarding its financial position and the results of its operations. The ability to understand financial statements is a critical skill for corporate, family, trial, and other lawyers. It also is essential for lawyers reviewing financial statements to be able to "read between the lines.” This session focuses on understanding financial statements, intermediate level financial analysis and essential concepts underlying the presentation of financial information to assess their reliability. At the end of the program, lawyers will be able to ask better questions regarding the financial statements they need to review and analyze and/or to recognize when the level of complexity is such that they need to hire a forensic accountant to assist in that review and analysis.

    The program will be taught by a forensic accountant with more than 40 years of experience who is a Certified Fraud Examiner, Certified Public Accountant, and Certified in Financial Forensics. The program is built around a case study that incorporates the financial shenanigans seen in the investigative projects completed over several years. The case study includes a full set of financial statements, including footnote disclosures.  (Participants attending the program will need to have a copy of the case study financial statements at the program to derive the maximum benefit from the program.)  

    The program provides special emphasis on "financial shenanigans" - ways in which Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") might be manipulated to create misstated financial statements - as well as practical suggestions on how to find misstatements in financial statements of both public companies and medium sized, family owned businesses.

    The program is ideal for corporate attorneys, trial lawyers, bankruptcy counsel, family law practitioners and general counsel.

    In this seminar, speaker Larry Chester will help you understand not only the Profit and Loss statement, but the Balance Sheet and the Statement of Cash Flows as well.

    Whether you’re a solo practitioner or part of a larger firm, if you’re getting financial statements, you’re going to want to know how to read them.  In this seminar, speaker Larry Chester will help you understand not only the Profit and Loss statement, but the Balance Sheet and the Statement of Cash Flows as well. This seminar will help you truly understand these financial statements, because it’s not just a matter of knowing what the numbers are and whether they are up or down from last month; you also need to understand what those numbers tell you about how your firm is doing, your availability of cash for distributions, and those long-term and short-term payments that have to be made. You want to know how those numbers are changing, and what they mean for your future and the future of your firm, and this seminar will help you do just that. 

    Speaker:
    Larry Chester served as a CFO for 25 years before starting his own consulting firm 16 years ago.  Since then, he has helped manufacturers, consulting firms and law firms find ways of operating more efficiently, and understand the reporting that provides guidance for the future, helping strategic decision-making. 

    Realizing that he enjoyed the challenges of helping business owners understand what they needed to do to improve cash flow and create wealth for their future, he hired a team of CFOs to help the many businesses that needed advice. Since forming CFO Simplified, Larry has been involved in Business Turnaround, and Mergers and Acquisitions, in addition to Financial and Operations Management for his clients. 

    Larry is an intuitive businessman, able to grasp complex situations, driving to the heart of the matter, while helping to develop creative solutions for strategic growth. He believes in providing sound financial leadership that business owners need right now.  His greatest pleasure comes from working with owners to institute tighter internal controls and greater profitability. In doing so, they work together, guiding the company to smoother operations and a stronger financial future. Larry lives in Northbrook, IL, where he holds court for his three daughters and eight grandchildren.
