Finance for Non-Finance Managers

PDF
1 Day

Course Overview

This hands on one day course is designed to introduce managers and business owners who do not have a background in finance to the financial reports, concepts and terminology which they are likely to come across in business management.
It gives an introduction to the background and principles of UK accounting, and examines the most commonly used management reports which will give an understanding of the business from a finance perspective.
Dummy company data and reports will be used on open group courses, however for a more tailored analysis bespoke training can use your own company reports within the exercises.
