(2) How to present financial values such as sales, costs and net income, as you might do in a business meeting, and compare them to values of a prior period, including how to describe the change.
(3) How to read, understand and analyze an Income Statement of a large, multinational company to identify the main factors driving performance.
(4) You'll learn words, phrases and expressions in English that are typically used when describing financial performance. You'll also learn how to avoid the word, 'because' and the excessive use of the word, 'and'.
