Back by popular demand: Understanding Company Accounts – a four-part course taught by a forensic accountant Raj Bairoliya that will demystify the jargon and teach you about companies’ motivation to massage earnings; their profit and loss accounts and balance sheets; funds flow statements and the small print (often the most interesting bit of the whole document).
Our talk Companies House as a Tool for Investigative Journalism will help you find information about companies and their accounts, as well as show how else you can use this tool to help your investigations. Taught by Diogo Augusto.
