Managers across all functions make decisions that influence budgets, costs, profitability, and overall organisational performance.

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.
