With the current economy, understanding the true cash flow of borrowers is important.  This webinar will help take the mystery out of borrowers’ personal income tax returns.  No more guessing how much income your borrower is really earning.  Learn how to identify actual cash flow quickly and reliably.

Usually cash flow and taxable income are different.  Overestimating the income from a tax return can lead you to approve a weak loan that could eventually cost you tens of thousands of dollars.  Conversely, underestimating income on a tax return can lead you to deny good loans that your credit union and your member needs in this tough economy.  This program will include many examples and will make the process of analyzing tax returns remarkably simple.
