The overall objective is to impart key financial reporting and analysis competencies and skills expected of directors, especially for those who do not have a financial background. At the end of the programme, directors should be able to make better data-supported judgment and contributions during boardroom discussions or decision-making on financial matters, especially during these uncertain times due to the pandemic.
