Understanding finance is at the heart of effective management. Applying the central concepts of financial and management accounting is key to making the right decisions and ensuring maximum return. If you need a basic understanding and overview of cash flow, budgets, financial ratios, costing decisions and balance sheets this is the course for you.


This is a clear and practical course that will leave you with a thorough understanding of the uses, limitations and scope of financial statements.
