نبذة عن الدورة التدريبية
The Finance for Non-Finance Managers e-learning course will help managers improve communication with finance executives in their company, better understand the impact of financial decisions on the firm’s profitability and enhance their ability to use financial analysis in decision-making. The program adds the financial dimension to the decision-making process thus enabling better business planning or performance benchmarking. Definitely a must for any middle and senior manager role!
The format will be 2 modules of 2 hours per day over 3 consecutive days, with a 2 hours break between each module. This will require some compulsory preparation and reading before the online session for maximum benefit. The assumption will be that you have read through the notes before the session, and we can therefore focus on the exercises and any questions you might have, after a brief overview of the notes.
