Programme Description
This financial management programme for non-finance directors addresses the challenges non-finance board members face when interpreting financial reports and making strategic decisions based on corporate data presented by management.
The programme will not turn you into an accountant but will give you a greater understanding of the financial information presented using the Du Pont Model to enhance your ability to evaluate the financial numbers and the confidence to delve into the issues involved in driving shareholder values and undertake basic valuation techniques.
