Anyone currently in a management position or aspiring to enter a management position that has not had formal training in accounting and finance.

BENEFITS

As global competition forces businesses to become more efficient, business models themselves must adapt. Individual mangers are now required not only to have a broad understanding of their particular area of expertise, but also to possess a much higher level of business understanding, including how to:

• Understand and utilize published and internal accounting information
• Calculate standard ratios and analyze them in both time series and cross-sectional comparisons
• Create pro-forma income statements utilized in business decision-making process and evaluate these statements using criteria such as payback, net value and rate of return.
• Come to grips with the difference between income and cash flow and hence the need to aggressively manage current assets and liabilities, including inventory models.
