The Seven Myths of Financial Documentation and Recordkeeping
Presenters: Lori Albert, Financial Director, Muncie Innovation Connector, Inc., and Amy Barnhiser, CPA, Whitinger & Company
This presentation is much more than a discussion about bookkeeping, receipts, and financial statements. It will challenge how entrepreneurs and business owners think about their financial information and spark a conversation about how what you don't know about your business finances can hurt you, and how what you don't document can cost you money. The central message of this session is: Financial recordkeeping isn't just about documenting where your money went. It's about understanding where your business is going.
