2 CPE It’s often said that accounting is the language of business. Unfortunately, CPAs, CFO’s and Controllers often struggle with ways to communicate effectively with non-financial managers. While they may nod their heads in seeming comprehension, many Non-Financial Managers will admit that they are totally lost when it comes to understanding tax and accounting concepts. This disconnect in communications can lead to disastrous consequences.
This course explores ways to communicate effectively with non-financial managers and staff. You’ll learn how to analyze the audience to assess their level of financial sophistication. Using a common-ground approach, you’ll discover the right ways to explain financial results. You’ll learn about feedback and assessment loops to determine that your audience is “on board” and comprehending not only what you are saying, but what the implications are. You’ll see how to be effective and engage them in your material. You’ll understand the common misunderstandings and faulty concepts that color the way non-financial managers view analytical information. Finally, you’ll see how effective communications can lead to more effective organizations and enhance the financial professional’s influence, reputation and effectiveness.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the six most common misconceptions and misunderstandings about accounting data that non-financial managers have.
- Discover how feedback and assessment loops can be used to gauge the level of audience comprehension
- Recognize the 7 best ways to overcome communications barriers with non-analytical personality types
- Explore how to use the techniques of effective communication in various scenarios

The presenter was dynamic. This presentation was really worthwhile. The presentation not only spoke to what should be included in a presentation about financial statements but what shouldn't be included. It also spoke about understanding the audience and how to handle toxic personality types during your presentation. I would highly recommend the course for anybody who presents financial data. This is a course I think would be worthwhile to keep and review periodically.

This course provided a comprehensive overview of considerations and techniques to improve communication between analytical and non-analytical personality types as well as effective story telling to effectively convey your thoughts and keep your audience engaged. I particularly enjoyed the dialogue around effective story telling as this remains an area of focus and development for my team. Nice supporting materials included by the presenter as well!

This was a great course with great examples of how to present financial information in ways other than the basic 3 financial statements. Excellent ideas which all those who present financial information should understand. The instructor also provides information of how to access industry comparable information from the internet. The training on how to understand the users of the financial information was also very effective. Great course!

This was very helpful as one of my objectives for the coming year is to provide financial reporting to service line managers, most of whom are engineers and have no experience with financial reports. While listening to the course I found myself thinking of things I could include in their reports that would be meaningful to them, and how to coach them on understanding the information. Super great, thanks a lot!

There were too many pictures in the presentation and not enough explanations between differences. It's funny that talks about different ways of retaining information & for me it is to not only hear but to read it. So when I got to the quiz & exam questions, there were several that I did not know because they were not mentioned in presentation the way they were presented in the questions.

Interesting course. I'm not sure of the demographic. The topics are simple enough for a lower-level accountant to understand, but the actions mentioned for application of the material are such that only the higher-level accountants who wouldn't need this course would be able to make those types of changes. (BI usage, financial statement formatting, etc.)

One of the "BEST" courses on Illumeo. The human factor is thoroughly explored with lots of insight and tips. I am amazed of how compliacted this stuff is in understanding the human communication experience and with a 90% test result I can say that Carl does a fantastic job of communicating to this listener. Thank you Carl

Interesting to dive into the point of view of nonfinanical managers and understand what we can do better to communicate the performance and health of the business. Only criticism is that the personality types contain many stereotypes, and we are really needing to build relationships with folks and appreciate nuance.
Kathy Crelly
(Director of Finance at NATA)
I enjoyed the comparison examples of AICPA statements to a more useful format for non-financial users. I also thought it was interesting to see how many things should be included besides just the big 3 financial statements to make the data more meaningful. I will be checking out the references provided also.
