How to create amazing presentations that contain numerical information.
This course will reveal the seven secrets to creating awesome financial presentations that accountants never learn. And best of all, they are simple techniques that you can implement right away. We’ll start with the most important recommendation: simplify your slides. Next is use words wisely. I’ll tell you why you should avoid using the built-in templates with bullet points that come with PowerPoint. We’ll discuss the importance of font styles, the essential rule of three, and more. Next is the importance of using a colour palette. Ignore this one at your peril. It’s one of the main reasons why many presentations look awful. Next is how to revolutionize your slides with images, transitions and video. I’ll show you how to get millions of free, and paid, stock images and video to use in your next presentation. Then there's the importance of telling stories. Everyone likes a story so if you want their attention, this is what you need to do. Next is how to make great tables. And then there is a substantial section on how to show numerical information in graphs so you can get your message across while keeping your audience engaged.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely).
