Are you a non-financial manager who feels daunted by discussions with finance professionals, and wants to quickly grasp the important aspects of finance? Dr Arjen Mulder, senior lecturer in corporate finance, will provide you with the tools and insights you need to effectively deal with these challenges and help you turn them into a business advantage.
During Finance for Non-Financial Managers, you will acquire a strong grounding in the most widely used financial tools. In two days on campus – plus some online work prior to and after the course – you will learn about financial reporting in balance sheets, cash flow and income statements, and how these are used for decision-making, performance management, business improvements and valuation.
RSM's Finance for Non-Financial Managers includes an individual assignment and a follow-up feedback session with your professor to discuss your progress.
Finance for Non-Financial Managers is a module of RSM’s Diploma Programme in General Management (DPGM), but can also be followed separately. The diploma programme is designed so you can tailor it to your personal and professional development needs.
This programme is suitable for all managers who wish to enhance their financial knowledge, including:
Current and prospective non-financial managers.
Consultants with a non-financial background.
Lawyers exposed to finance in their legal practice.
Most participants hold a bachelor or master degree, and some have a PhD in a field unrelated to finance.
