Course Description
Three are three main reasons for business failure – an under-skilled management team; ineffective marketing; and poor financial management. Every manager, or student of management, requires a good grasp of business finance. This course will help.
Business finance concerns the management of the monetary resources of an organisation. There are two aspects to this:
- Raising the money to invest in the business
- Managing that investment properly to generate a return
Raising the money is about having an attractive proposition and managing the risk to investors. Managing the investment is about the financial controls and reporting of the business. This course covers the three main financial reports; financial performance indicators; and investment analysis.
