Most functions in business — marketing, research and development, human resources management, and so on — are obviously subjective, a matter dependent on experience and judgment as well as data. But finance? Accounting? We think that if a number shows up on a financial statement, it must be an exact reflection of reality. Right? Well, actually, no. The fact is, accounting and finance, like all other business disciplines, are as much an art as they are a science.
In the Financial Intelligence keynote, Joe reveals what accountants and financial professionals do every day as part of their jobs — make estimates and assumptions that lead to a bias in the numbers. He then outlines for leaders and managers the questions to ask and the places to look so that they have the knowledge and power required to make solid business decisions, critically evaluate options, and create a strong, balanced organization.
