Finance For Non Finance Managers

Understanding the financial impact of every transaction undertaken in a business is the key focus of this workshop. A good manager is one who understands how to sell a lot of products or services but selling a lot of products or services does not make the manager an excellent one. Sales is a gift to a customer until it is translated into cash. It is with this in mind a manager must understand the impact of sales in the profit and loss account (profitability measurement), cashflow statements ( liquidity measurement) and balance sheet (net worth measurement).

This workshop is targeted at non-financial experts with responsibility to manage and control financial resources in their organisation. This course aims at providing participants with finance fundamentals that will help them come to grips with sound financial discipline for business success.
