GABB Class: Recasting Financials and Accounting Fundamentals for Business Brokers, March 1

Jon Roman

Learn how to recast financials and accounting fundamentals in a March 1 class to be taught by Georgia Association of Business Brokers Board Treasurer Jon Roman.

The class Recasting Financials and Accounting Fundamentals for Business Brokers will be eligible for three hours towards the GABB’s Board-Certified Broker credential, and is eligible for continuing education credit under Course #73934 approved by the Georgia Real Estate Commission.

This class, which will earn credits towards the Board-Certified Broker Credential, will cover what business brokers need to know about basic accounting as well as how to recast the seller’s financial statements. Recasting is the accepted accounting principle of removing or adjusting items on a business’s financial statements that are unrelated to the ongoing business.

Recasting financial statements demonstrates to a buyer the financial results of the business “as if” it was owned by the buyer, taking into account tax-motivated or other discretionary transactions that reduce corporate earnings. Recasting typically involves the adjustment of certain expenses recorded on the income statement of the Company that are considered to be discretionary or non-recurring in nature.

The class will be held on March 1 from 1 p.m.-4 p.m. at the Georgia Association of Realtors classroom: 6065 Barfield Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30328-4402
