Finance is the root of how any organization or business makes money, and numbers are its language! Unfortunately, many key decision-makers and core team members struggle to speak the language of numbers and are making decisions based on assumptions, gut feelings, and a few rules-of-thumb. In addition, they are heavily dependent on the finance department and accountants without understanding the financial implications of their own decisions, as they believe they are non-finance persons.

In this course – Financial Fluency for Non-Finance Professionals, participants will understand how their decisions affect the bottom line of their organization/department and that they are finance persons. As the saying goes, “A chain is as strong as its weakest link.” Similarly, an organization is as strong and/or effective as its weakest decision-maker.

The course will cover topics such as financial statements, budgeting, forecasting, cost analysis, cash flow management, and investment analysis. Participants will learn to interpret financial data and use financial analysis tools to make strategic business decisions. They will also gain an understanding of financial risk management and the importance of financial controls.

After the end of the course, the participants will have the ability to analyze financial reports irrespective of the size of the data, as they will learn to extract relevant information by processing any financial data with simple, proven steps. This will boost their confidence not only to interact with financial experts but also to make informed and profitable decisions based on facts and not mere assumptions.

This interactive course will be delivered using industry case studies, practical examples, and real-life experiences, and above all, it is intentionally designed to make the subject of finance fun to learn.

Remember, good financial management may not always guarantee success, but ineffective financial management can single-handedly bring down any organization!
