Accounting and Finance for Managers investigates the importance of understanding the role of finance in ensuring the sustainability and growth of organisations.

This module will focus on five main themes:

• Assets and Liability: Understanding the Balance sheet

• Presenting and Analysing Financial Statements

• Sourcing Finance and Managing Cashflow

• Managing Risk and Uncertainty

• Linking Finance to Strategy and Operations

Financial experts across the world depend upon a team of professionals to provide them with knowledge and specialised information. A key member of this team is the accountant. Understanding the framework of accounting principles means you develop skills and knowledge essential to becoming a skilled leader in finance. This course begins by introducing you to a broad picture of the corporate world. We quickly move to a discussion about financial statements and corporate performance helping our understanding of the critical roles played by accountants. Thereafter, we examine important concepts in detail; including, the time value of money, understanding value, understanding risk and capital budgeting. Throughout our discussions we will be using real world accounting examples to consolidate our knowledge and understanding of this important relationship.

Quantitative methods are used throughout the finance profession. For example, fund managers evaluate investments using quantitative techniques and financial analysts use methods to evaluate forecasts. The purpose of this course is to cover a range of quantitative methods and equip you with a statistical “toolbox” that is central to the finance community. We begin by thinking about data presentation and fundamental statistical concepts. Thereafter, we cover: probability analysis, hypothesis testing, correlation, and linear regression.  Throughout the course we use financial data to interpret key research findings, and we use examples and hands-on activities designed to grow your knowledge in this critical area.

The fact that money (and understanding money) really matters in business and all managers need to understand issues like cashflow and profit might depress you, but it is true. Financial viability of customers? Deciding on the likely financial viability of a project? Reporting to shareholders about performance? Does the word “sustainable” appear in a finance dictionary? All questions we will try and address.

Economics is subject within social sciences whose objective is to study how to allocate scarce resources, such as oil fields, bread, cars, haircuts, and financial capital. If there was an unlimited amount of resources, then economics would not be needed. Among other things, financial assets are scarce resources as well. That is one of the reasons why finance is relevant to economics. Conversely, economics is relevant to finance as it enables us to better understand how financial markets function. The objective of this course is to provide you with a sound understanding of the main economic theories and to demonstrate their relevance to finance.
