Financial Management for Non-Financial Executives

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Become a more strategic leader, and expand your cross-functional influence, with a deeper understanding of finance.

• Build fundamental financial skills, including your ability to record business transactions, read financial reports, identify relevant cost information, budget and assess performance, and analyze working capital, discounted cash flow, and capital expenditures.
• Practice applying the details of balance sheets, income and cash flow statements, as well as interpret big-picture stories as told through financial data in annual corporate reports.
• Review typical models of cost allocation among units, products and services and spot how those models can be improved.
• Make decisions around pricing, cost-cutting and capital investment, and refine your ideas against real-life strategies and outcomes.
• This program emphasizes the application and understanding of financial information, not its preparation; no prior finance or accounting knowledge is necessary.
