Understanding why financial information is needed, how it has been put together, how it is presented and then used is critical for all managers and for those interested in assessing corporate performance. The course covers the foundations of accounting very briefly, focusing firstly on the financial statements, their meaning and interpretation; secondly on the reporting and use of accounting information within the organisation. The course aims to equip the finance-savvy manager, not turn them into an accountant.
