Learn the Basics Of Accounting In an Hour

(NewsUSA) - What can you do in 60 minutes? Watch another rerun? Get a good workout? How about learn all you need to know about corporate finance? Now that's an hour well spent.

A new training program called "Accounting in an Hour" seeks to demystify corporate finance for non-financial employees.

The program's creator, Rick J. Makoujy Jr., touts the course as a way for employees to gain accounting knowledge, which can make them more valuable and productive to their companies.

"Anyone who cannot read a financial statement puts limitations on his or her career," says Makoujy, a former securities analyst who worked for Price Waterhouse and the Wall Street brokerage firm Bear Stearns. "They cannot contribute at meetings where finance is an issue and cannot provide a meaningful financial opinion."

The course, which is available via live seminar and DVD, concisely explains how organizations make and lose money and how assets and liabilities are recorded. Participants also learn how to interpret accounting terminology and how to appreciate what an organization must do to turn a profit.

The program is available for individual, group and corporate purchase. For more information, visit www.accountinginanhour.com or call 800-556-6799.
