Course Outlines
This two-day course will raise the level of financial literacy and acumen of the participants and enable them to use financial (and increasingly non-financial) information provided to them to make better short-term and long-term decisions in managing their organizations (or units). The course covers basic financial principles and financial management tools necessary for decision-making. Learning is achieved via examples that reinforce the basic concepts taught in the workshop. In other words, the participants are introduced to the basic language of financial reporting and guided through the basic corporate financial statements to “decode” the presented information. A financial statement is analyzed using ratios and participants then undertake to analyze another statement in groups. The connection between strategy and budgets will be explored, and the importance of time value of money in project planning will be discussed while developing pro-forma statements.
