ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The workshop is an intensive three day session designed specifically to meet
the needs of agricultural supply firms who provide credit products for their customers.
The focus of the workshop is on the:
 | Concepts and mechanics of agricultural financial statements
|
| Analysis and interpretation of historical and projected
financial statements |
| Principles of determining creditworthiness of agricultural
credit requests |
| Concepts and issues of secured lending transactions and loan
documentation |
Although lectures are an important part of the workshop, the
core of the participants' interaction during the three days revolves around in-depth
analysis of case studies and small group discussions with colleagues and faculty. The mix
of interactive lecture and case study activities allows participants to expand their
understanding of the issues. |
