Introduction to "Finanzas para no financieros"

Objective of the Program

  • The program aims to help participants interpret financial statements of a company by the end of the course.
  • It is clarified that this will not be an accounting course, focusing instead on understanding rather than technical accounting details.

Analogy for Understanding

  • An analogy is drawn between driving a car and using financial statements; most people can drive but may not understand mechanics.
  • Similarly, while many use computers, they often lack in-depth knowledge about their functioning, highlighting the importance of basic understanding over technical expertise.

Learning Focus

  • The goal is to learn how to navigate financial statements like balance sheets and income statements without needing deep accounting knowledge.
  • Just as mechanics and IT professionals handle specific tasks, accountants prepare financial data for interpretation by others.

Translation of Financial Data

  • Accounting translates business activities into simple numerical language that everyone can understand (e.g., purchases, sales, loans).
