Managers often fall behind when it comes to finance. More often than not this is due to a lack of understanding, jargon, fear of finance and figures, and an inability to see the importance of a financial strategy and how it will impact on their behaviour and decision making. Likewise, managers who are comfortable and competent in understanding and managing the financial aspects of their day-to-day business benefit from improved business skills and performance, internal respect from colleagues and senior management, enhanced external relations, better cash flow management and ultimately improved career prospects. For those with little or no formal training in finance, this highly interactive course concentrates on the principles, tools and techniques of financial management.
