Finance for Non-financial Managers
About Workshop


The “Finance for Non-financial managers” workshop allows managers with little or no financial training or experience to learn to use the language and tools of finance. It equips non-financial managers with a comprehensive working knowledge of financial principles and a strong foundation in financial management, investment analysis and effective budgeting. You will be able to return to your organization with the confidence to analyze financial information and participate fully in making business decisions. For the success of our programs we rely on a combination of theory with practical assignments, discussions, and real life simulated group exercise.
