Product Information

Medical practices operate under unique financial pressures that are often misunderstood by accountants. This session focuses on the accounting and financial realities of medical practices, including income timing, debtor management, and cash flow challenges linked to medical aid claims. Delegates will learn how common errors distort profitability and why practices can appear successful while struggling financially. The session explains these issues in clear, practical terms and highlights risk areas that frequently cause problems for both the practice and the professional advising them. Designed for accountants who work with doctors or healthcare businesses, this session builds confidence in managing medical practice finances correctly.
