GSB – Business Financial Statements and Tax Returns: Components of Business Financial Statement and Tax Returns

Analyzing business financial statements and tax returns starts with understanding the basic components of the balance sheet and income statement, along with the reconciliation of retained earnings, plus footnotes and other disclosures. The business tax return is nothing more than a financial statement with similar components, but with a different format and structure. A second step is to use a diagram, with the components in rough proportion to dollar size, to see how the components “flow” together and interact to create three major financial relationships: (1) Sales to total assets, (2) profit retention, and (3) leverage. A third step is to identify and understand the key principles underlying the three primary methods of accounting, followed by examining an accountant cover letter, if applicable.

Topics to be covered include:

  • Identify various financial statement analysis options and tools, plus the basic structure and purposes of financial statements and tax returns
  • Diagram the statement components and how they flow together and create three major relationships
  • Identify various levels of accountant-prepared financial statements (compilations, reviews, and audits) and related accountant cover letters
  • Describe key issues in using internal or company-prepared statements, as well as interim statements
  • Compare and contrast the three primary methods of accounting
  • Key standards, limitations, and alternatives within accrual accounting or generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)

Target Audience:  Credit analysts, portfolio managers, assistant relationship managers, community bankers, small business lenders, commercial lenders, consumer lenders, branch managers that lend to business owners, private bankers, and special assets

GSB – Every Employee is Responsible for Customer Growth

We know that customer service and sales representatives are responsible for building relationships with customers. But, let’s not stop there. When an entire organization benefits from relationship development, we need to find effective ways to engage the entire organization in relationship development. Everyone plays an important role in that process, so take the time to discover and identify how each job position at your bank will contribute to successful relationship development. This session examines how banks can direct their culture and business practices directly at customers and their long-term loyalty. It’s no longer acceptable to only take ownership of your daily tasks. Every employee must take ownership in the customers’ relationship tenure and satisfaction.

Target Audience:  Everyone on the bank’s team
