Learn how to read financial statements

Sageworks Inc., a North Carolina company that tracks private companies, is offering a training session later this month for business reporters on how to read financial statements.

Sageworks chairman Brian Hamilton will lead this free webinar for journalists, focusing on how to analyze financial statements and find the “narrative” behind the numbers.

This webinar will cover:

  • An easy-to-understand overview of an income statement, balance sheet and statement of cash flow
  • The most important data found in a company’s financial statements
  • How to draw conclusions from a company’s numbers

The session will take place on Oct. 22 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
