Finance for Non-Financial Managers

For whom?

The program is aimed at managers and leaders who have, or soon will have, financial responsibility and who feel the need to supplement their knowledge and experience with better insight into fundamental accounting in order to be succesful and profitable.

We have no formal academic qualification requirements, but a number of years experience as a manager or leader is a pre-requisite in order to participate.

• financial accounting
• financial analysis
• cost accounting
• budgeting and financial control
• terms within business administration, and how these are related

At the end of the program you have the opportunity to apply your newly acquired skills on a real problem/opportunity within your own organisation.
