BUSINESS FINANCE FOR NON-FINANCIAL MANAGERS


Finance is the basis of a business, yet many managers find the subject daunting. This, more often than not, is due to a lack of understanding, complex jargon and confidence problems. Many managers have an inability to recognise the need for a financial strategy and how this should affect their decision making.

This programme aims to demystify financial jargon and enable you to develop an understanding of financial topics and processes and how they impact upon your team and business.
