Strengthening financial acumen for business decision making

In a business world driven by data and accountability, financial acumen is no longer just the domain of the finance team. This immersive programme is designed for business leaders and decision-makers from non-finance functions who want to confidently navigate financial discussions, evaluate decisions through a financial lens, and link operational actions to financial outcomes.

Delivered over two weekends, this live online programme focuses on decoding the language of finance, demystifying financial statements, and strengthening the link between numbers, strategy, and performance. Through real-world examples and hands-on tools, participants will gain a practical understanding of how finance drives business success.

• Interpret and analyse financial statements to support business decision-making
