JOURDAN ACCOUNTING AGENCY 

In recent years, financial literacy has gained the attention of a wide range of major banking companies, government agencies, grass-roots consumer and community interest groups, and other organizations.  Interested groups, including policy makers are very concerned that consumers lack a working knowledge of financial concepts and do not have the tools they need to make decisions most advantageous to their economic well-being.  Those financial literacy deficiencies most often affect an individual's or a family's day to day money management and ability to save for long-term goals such as buying a home, seeking higher education, or financing retirement.  Ineffective money management can also result in behaviors that make consumers vulnerable to sever financial crisis. 

We at Jourdan Accounting Agency recognize the imporance and dire need to correct this problem and we understand that the beginning foremost solution is Financial Literacy Training administered in a way that is understandable to all that desire financial stability within their lives. 

As the concern about financial literacy has increased, so too have the number and variety of financial literacy training programs and program providers, some offering comprehensive information on savings, credit,  and similar topics for a broad audience and others tailored to a specifit group, such as youth or military personnel, or focused on a specifit goal such as home ownership or savings.

Reviews of the effectiveness of financial literacy training have been mixed and sometimes confusing.  Although some programs, specifically those with discrete objectives, have succeeded in improving certain aspects of the consumers' personal financial management such as maintaining a mortgage or increasing savings has improved, fianancial behavior does not necessisarily follow from increased financial information.  The timing, format of the training as well has continued support play larger roles in the successfulness of the training program and whether the program will effect positive change that contributes to the household's long-term financial well-being.  Accounting for all of the variables associated with financial literacy training, such as when, how and where it is delivered and who is trained, and what information is presented
