About this course
Every organisation requires an effective finance function to take the lead on financial planning, financial control and financial reporting. The finance team produces meaningful information to help owners, leaders and managers make informed decisions. For this information to be used effectively decision makers are required to have a basic understanding of accounting and to be able to understand financial information and reports.
This course is designed to help entrepreneurs, owners and directors of small and medium sized enterprises (SME) gain the skills required to interpret and analyse financial information and reports. Ultimately, these skills will help you make better-informed decisions.
