As a director are you always confident that you really understand the financial implications of your strategic decisions? Do you know how to scrutinise and question your annual accounts? Do you feel sure when you sign off accounts that you've correctly understood how they were put together and the story they tell about your organisation's financial health?

Directors can't leave financial management to someone else. You need enough of the fundamentals to ask the right questions and grasp the opportunities and challenges.

This practical and interactive workshop is designed exclusively for senior managers and directors to ensure that you leave able to conduct robust boardroom discussions about your company's financial reports
