Overview

Why You Should Attend

Financial statements provide information on the financial performance of companies and are the language of business.  Attorneys are often required to understand financial statements in order to provide solutions to their clients’ problems, including structuring financial transactions and litigating business disputes. This entertaining and immersive “serious game” trains lawyers to understand, read and interpret financial statements and to apply their findings in the decision-making process. Working in this self-paced simulation will help eliminate uncertainty and lack of confidence associated with working with financial statements.
