Why
Attend
Most strategic and operational business decisions rely on a
fundamental knowledge of financial management. Speaking and understanding the
language of finance is an essential skill for leaders and managers throughout the
organization. This understanding is also a prerequisite for finance
professionals who need to make day to day decisions, and for accounting
professionals who wish to advance their careers. Without a clear understanding
of financial statements and financial analysis and management, you lack
credibility with finance managers and business leaders alike. This certificate
in financial management course consists of modules that reveal financial
terminology and concepts, giving you the tools you need to communicate fluently
with top executives and articulate business investment and project proposals to
decision makers.
The course uses a mix of interactive techniques, such as brief
presentations by the consultant, group exercises, case studies and the use of
Excel to apply knowledge acquired throughout the course followed by
participants' presentations of the results.
