Fundamentals of Finance & Accounting for Non-Financial Managers (online)

“An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.”

Benjamin Franklin

This programme is designed for non-financial managers in every functional area of responsibility in all industries.

Who should attend?

Can you demonstrate your value and ROI to your boss? Are you able to interpret financial reports and make decisions based on the data they provide? Can you draft an accurate budget? Can you justify your ideas in real money terms?

You didn’t get to this point in your career only to be held back by weak financial skills. How many times have you been sitting in a meeting with the Finance Team and you don’t understand a lot of the financial jargon? Or maybe it is really to defend your budget?

Finance...for nonfinancial managers. It’s a topic you must understand—especially during challenging economic times when financial acumen is expected at every organizational level. You’ve got to know how to justify a request, quantify your contributions to the company and spot profit drains immediately. Because whether you’re a wizard of finance or a nonfinancial manager, performance is measured the same way—in monetary terms!

Offering an accessible overview of finance for nonfinancial managers, this programme features exactly what you need to further your career and build your future. From accruals to write-offs to receivables and payables, this workshop shows nonfinancial managers the concepts, tools and techniques that can help make each decision pay off—on the job and on the bottom line.

Overcome your fear of finance and learn the financial impact of your decisions - without leaving your office.

This programme has been reviewed and approved by the Project Management Institute® (PMI).

You can build your key leadership, personal and business management skills and acquire PDUs for your PMI Certification at the same time.
