Have you ever looked at your co-op’s financial statements and wondered what it all means? Most directors don’t have training in bookkeeping or accounting, and it’s not easy to get much out of those statements if you’re not sure what to look for.

Starting with basic definitions we'll dive into your co-op's own statements with an exercise to learn about ten key things to watch for when reviewing your co-op’s finances.
