Overview

Financial Documents 101 Course

Financial documents play a critical role in running small and large companies. The documents help businesses of all kinds in different industries to communicate their financial information to external parties or entities such as investors and banks. The financial reports summarise a business’s accounting procedures and features cash and account title tabulations. The financial reports also showcase the financial status or position and performance of a company or individual, including changes in finances over a specified period. Businesses aim at using the statements to share financial decisions with internal and external parties to help with economic decisions. Data sourced from business financial systems are used to aggregate, condense and simplify the development of financial documents. The statements simply display results from a company’s accounting system. The financial documents are usually developed and released on an annual basis every financial year. This course has been designed to introduce you to the basics of financial documents.

Firstly, we define financial documents and explain what they are. The course also briefly explains what goes into creating financial statements. Next, we cover the four main types of financial statements that you should know about. The course introduces each statement and explains what they do and feature. It also explains the role of each statement in the operation of a business and in the life of individuals. Finally, we state several benefits of financial documents to the business, including external entities, such as lenders and investors.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
