Finance for Non-Financial managers.
Getting all managers on board.

THE DETAILS

This 2 day workshop takes the lid off finance and accounting and enables the user to see - often for the first time - what's going on in the business - and what he/she should do as a consequence. The programme has been split over two weeks to enable participants to apply their learnings from day 1 before returning for the second day of the programme.

The questions we will address on the workshop include: Why do profitable companies often fail - and how can this be avoided? How does the selling price etc get decided? What actually constitutes "cost"? How and why do you budget? What financial ratios are really important? Why do transactions end up in either the income statement or the balance sheet? Why are there different ways of accounting for similar things? Why does it matter when and how information is reported? Why do accountants speak a different language? What is classification? What constitutes notes and accounting policies and why are they important?

These are just a few of the questions that typically exist in the minds of non-financially literate people. This workshop goes a long way to dispersing the myths, creating understanding and insights - and will enable you to be a better, more effective manager. As a result you will be able to participate more effectively in the financial decision making of your business.
