• Financial Management IS better decision-making
• Why financial recordkeep- ing is more than cash-basis accounting
• Understanding income statements, cash flows and owner equity
• Accrual transactions
• Using ratio analysis tools
•Financial Resources avail- able.

The group gathered as a general assembly to start and end the day’s program, but was split into two separate tracks during the day. All attending received a copy of the 2015 Financial Guidelines for Agriculture as part of their registration to attend.
