Finance for Non-Financial Leaders – Part One

Overview

Finance is the language of business. Every decision made by a manager or director has financial consequences, whether that involves investing in growth, managing costs, improving productivity or shaping strategy. Leaders who understand the financial implications of their decisions are better equipped to drive performance and create value.

This practical programme is designed for directors, company secretaries, senior leaders and managers who want to build financial confidence without needing an accounting background. Using straightforward business language rather than technical jargon, delegates will learn how to understand financial information, interpret performance and use financial insight to make better operational and strategic decisions.
