  • El objetivo de esta presentación es brindar a los participantes una comprensión integrada de los estados financieros de su empresa y lo crucial que esta información proporciona. Al finalizar la sesión, los asistentes podrán articular claramente el propósito y la importancia de tres documentos financieros clave: el balance general, que ofrece una visión general de los activos, pasivos y patrimonio de la empresa en un momento específico; el estado de perdida y ganancias, que detalla los ingresos, gastos y utilidad neta durante un período definido; y el estado de flujo de efectivo, que registra las entradas y salidas de efectivo de la empresa, destacando su liquidez y eficiencia operativa.

    Además, los participantes aprenderán a identificar esenciales métricas financieras y a usar este conocimiento para tomar decisiones estratégicas que impulsen un mejor rendimiento empresarial y el crecimiento sostenible de su empresa.
