Finance for the Boardroom

This programme is for anyone who operates at a senior level of an organisation of any size or sector, who uses financial data but lacks formal training in finance. It will give you the tools to address financial performance, evaluate business plans, and use financial strategy to create long-term value. An understanding of the techniques provides the ability to interpret financial data and brings with it the confidence to demand decision-relevant information. Our finance faculty use their own practical business experience to bring the subject to life, enabling you to apply the concepts in your own organisation.
