About the Webinar
Understanding financial statements is essential for assessing business interruption (BI) exposure and supporting claims. This session provides a clear, practical overview of how to read and interpret key financial statements and how this information connects directly to BI worksheets used in insurance programs and claims.
Designed for non‑accountants, the webinar focuses on real‑world application rather than technical accounting theory - helping participants build confidence when reviewing BI submissions, asking informed questions, and engaging with finance teams, brokers, and insurers. (Continuing Education (CE) Credits to be provided by Speaker)
