Great class. This was the best class I've taken on statement of cash flow. I really liked the fact that the instructor provided live examples and insights from his personal experience. I highly recommend this class for someone wanting to understand how not to only prepare but to read the statement.

Good course. Try doing the direct method stmt of cash flows for a $2 billion exotic derivative hedge fund. Not to disrespect my teacher, here, but I have a black belt in this.
Regardless: Great CPE. Thanks.

What is the best presentation to present to the management about the cost driver and the return in investment?
A good question Maurina. In order to respond to your query, I would need to know a lot more about your operation. If I had the time I would reach out to you. Thanks.
