Course Information:

Financial statements are the monitors that determine the health of a practice. Knowing what the numbers mean, and how to organize them in a way that makes sense and clearly shows the true net operating cost of a practice is essential to practice ownership. Whether prepared by the practice owner or an accountant, dentists should know how to review assets, track liabilities and their associated payments, and identify indicating factors on a Profit and Loss statement that show positive or negative direction, to determine the financial stability of the practice. Understanding how to interpret financial statements allows you to make informed financial decisions about generating cash, managing debt, creating a budget & business plan, identifying Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), setting goals and updating technology.
Employee fraud is one of the biggest concerns for a practice owner. Accounting controls must be in place to mitigate the risk of embezzlement and ensure all data is captured, analyzed and monitored for discrepancies.
