Performance Evaluation and Corporate Failure Predictions
Achieving successful business performance goes hand-in-hand with a candid assessment of the company's strengths and weaknesses. This course addresses such issues with a view to recognizing problems early and adopting measures to avoid failure.
Strategic Performance Measures for Survival and Growth
Corporate performance management requires a range of inter-disciplinary skills that a manager will be expected, over time, to master. Starting with strategic planning issues this course addresses the sort of performance monitoring tools that companies (from basic to complex organisational structures) use to achieve and to maintain high performance.
Advanced Investment Appraisal
This course takes basic investment appraisal techniques to a more advanced level, examining additional ways to analyse the acceptance and rejection of projects (including acquisitions) in more complex situations, including international operations, where foreign currency exposures and other risks may be involved.
Costs and Management Accounting Developments
This course examines a range of managerial accounting techniques and related costing methods. The connection to budgets and budgeting processes is covered, as well as behavioural aspects. The course is not highly technical and therefore appeals to a wide range of managers who may have an indirect, but nevertheless decision-making, role in corporate decisions that rely on management accounting outputs.
Better Planning, Control and Decision Making
Behind any jargon there must be logical substance in everything we do. The purpose of this course is to give participants a framework for reviewing and implementing business strategies, including effective budgetary techniques.
Spreadhseet and Modeling Skills for Accountant
Spreadsheet skills are almost as important as using a telephone! This course is addressed to professionals and managers who require a good grounding in the "power of the spreadsheet". That is, how to use it effectively and efficiently to structure models (cash flow projections, budgets, etc.) and select the clearest most effective presentation formats.
Cash Flow Essentials
The programme is designed to heighten participants' awareness of the importance of cash, how to collect it quickly, and the costs of not doing so. The focus is on working capital (receivables, inventories, payables) and its optimisation, as well as indicators (ratios) and their interpretation.
