Learn to Read CU Financial Statements in Plain English

Learn how to read your credit union's financial statements, and to interpret its condition and performance, through essential ratios

If you are a volunteer or non-financial professional, you know what it's like to be left out of the conversation, to be left out of the decision making, because you do not speak the financial lingo. The balance sheet looks like just a bunch of numbers, cold facts ... you look at it but cannot read the story it has to tell.

Available on DVD 2:48 running time with three audio CDs of the soundtrack for reinforcement. Includes a data disk with the study guide and bonus material.

The subject is also available on a single audio CD playing 80 minutes. Recorded in session, this is a shorter version of the above with the essence of reading the balance sheet and essential ratios. Read more
