Using Ratios as a Management Tool

Larry Troyer

5122 / Pennsylvania Business Seminar 2013

The task of gleaning meaning from columns and rows of numbers on a financial statement can be mind-numbing to managers. Consider using ratios and trends to glean information beyond the “top line” and “bottom line.” The focus of this session is to bring life and meaning to ratios. The origin of the numbers will be discussed along with practical advice on things you can do to make a difference.
