Course overview

Financial knowledge, skills and commercial awareness are business critical skills for all non-finance managers. Succeeding in these challenging economic times relies on everyone having a basic understanding of finance, and sharing a common direction and purpose. Being comfortable with financial terminology and principles will enable managers to effectively partner with the finance function and contribute to the performance of the business.

This one day course is aimed at ensuring that the fundamentals of finance are well understood. By breaking down some of the jargon and making finance more accessible this course can lead to delegates taking a more proactive role with finance in their organisations. It provides a safe environment where they are able to ask questions and ensure that they have a solid foundation on which to build.

Our training courses are designed to be hands on and interactive, therefore we limit delegate places to a maximum of 18 to allow you to get the most out of your learning and training with us.

Learning outcomes:

  • Detailed understanding of financial terminology;
  • An appreciation of financial principles and concepts;
  • Understanding the different financial statements (balance sheet, P&L, cash flow), including: what they are, why they are useful, and what they show;
  • Understanding the interactions between the financial statements;
  • An understanding of the difference between profit and cash;
  • Understanding of working capital and its importance to a business; and
  • An introduction to some financial performance measures used by a business.

What is a virtual classroom?

A virtual classroom provides the same great learning experience as other ICAEW training, except one difference, you can learn from your desk.

Being delivered online makes it so much easier to access in a busy working week and would definitively recommend this type of training. The breakout rooms work really well to allow you to get to know the other participants and share experiences.

The focus is on the learner and creating an enriching classroom experience that connects participants globally. Using video, learners can converse and interact with the trainer and other learners in real-time. Whiteboards, break-out sessions, polls, screen-sharing, and interactive Q&A create an immersive learning experience.

I think the virtual training format using Zoom, and the survey features, and break out rooms, really works great. I had no problems engaging with the facilitator and felt he listened to what we said, and kept the pace of the content moving steadily.

Excellent course. I have completed 2 other similar courses that didn't go into enough depth. This was exactly the level of detail I required to feel confident as a Board member questioning accounts.

Our public course programme is deliberately structured to encourage delegates from different organisations to participate. However, if you have six or more delegates who require development in the same area, we are able to run a more cost-effective and much wider range of courses tailored specifically to your organisation.

Organisations will have the choice to run our in-house courses online or in-person.

These are ideal for organisations seeking hassle-free, flexible and cost-effective training delivered to multiple delegates at your location of choice. Whether we use our existing materials or develop new content for your business, our expertise lies in translating your requirements into a pragmatic, interactive training programme highly relevant to your people and organisation.
