Executives and managers need a clear understanding of the basic financial and accounting principles essential in running a business. Not only does this let them interpret financial reports and data about their organization and the market they operate in, but it also lets them exchange information in a more compelling way with colleagues, suppliers and clients, and make better-informed management decisions.
The goal of this program is to give business leaders who hail from a non-accounting background the opportunity to acquire the knowledge they need to develop a solid grasp of the concepts, processes and tools employed in corporate finance.
