Finance For Non Finance Professionals PROGRAM COVERVIEW
Managers all over the world are increasingly facing top-line and bottom-line demands amidst an environment that is
uncertain and challenging. Hence for a manager to be effective, he or she should have good business acumen for
which fundamental financial knowledge is critical.
In an article entitled, "Business Acumen Involves More Than Numbers”] Chris Berger, a principal and member of the
human resources practice explains that business acumen starts with the ability to understand how a company makes
and loses money and that leaders must be financially literate and be able to understand numbers on company financial
statements.
The program is designed for Managers and Leaders who want to enhance their ‘business acumen’ and take positions
of responsibility and accountability. Additionally it enables participants to improve their knowledge of finance and
financial analysis to be able to see the financial outcome and impact of strategies and operations and be able to better
monitor and control performance of companies.
The approach taken during the program is one from a business perspective so as to be able to see flow of money and
critical links for control and results and for the effective management of resources.
The program uses a wide variety of participative methods including mini case studies to understand company balance
sheet, income statements, cash flow statements and statements to add value to the effective management of
organization.
