The seminar covers 6 main areas:

1. The language of business – understanding the jargon of accountants
2. The ‘Balance sheet’ – a snapshot of your financial health
3. The ‘Income Statement’ – your measure of financial performance over time.
4. Key financial measurement tools, ratios and indicators – to assess your performance
5. Managing finance – an essential skill for every manager
6. Financial decision – a vital part of operational management

The approach taken in the seminar will be practical as well as conceptual, qualitative as well as quantitative, and strategic as well as well as tactical. The intention is that you’ll be able to apply conceptual principles to practical situations at whatever level of management involved. The seminar will incorporate various solved examples and case studies with step-by-step guidelines at appropriate intervals so that you get an opportunity to integrate practice and theory with ample chance to discuss various issues aired during the seminar. We want you to be able to apply your new knowledge from Day 1 back at work!
