Program Objectives

More than ever, it is imperative that non-financial managers and company officers familiarize themselves with the issues, tools, and techniques that drive financial decision making. Finance and Accounting for the Non-Financial Manager is a program designed to help managers and executives make decisions that will measurably improve their personal effectiveness and the profitability of their organizations. The purpose of this program is to equip participants with terminology and critical financial fundamentals to be able to communicate with financial practitioners with more confidence and understand the performance metrics by which they are often measured. They will develop an understanding of the uses of financial statements for evaluation and analysis; understand the key issues affecting financial decisions; gain insight into project selection techniques; and explore the determinants of firm value and avenues for its enhancement.

During the program, you will learn the terminology you need to better understand and interpret financial information. You will gain an understanding of how business decisions affect economic outcomes and how these results are reflected in financial reports. You will also become familiar with the different types of financial statements as you learn how to analyze investments. This program will give you the tools and core knowledge you need to assess business opportunities and financial risks and communicate your assessment effectively. You will examine diverse financial approaches including: methods of valuation, techniques for project selection, evaluations of risk and return, calculations to determine the cost of capital and approaches to creating shareholder wealth.
