About This Course

Finance is no longer the sole responsibility of accountants and finance teams. Managers across all functions make decisions that influence budgets, costs, profitability, and overall organisational performance. This course is designed to help non-finance professionals develop the financial knowledge and confidence needed to understand key financial concepts, interpret financial information, and contribute effectively to business decision-making.

Through practical examples and clear explanations, learners will explore the fundamentals of finance, financial reporting, and financial statement analysis. They will learn how to interpret financial statements, evaluate organisational performance using key financial ratios, and assess financial health from both operational and market perspectives. The course also highlights the role of financial insights in budgeting, governance, risk management, and strategic decision-making.
