About the Programme

As a Non-finance professional, it is important to have a sound understanding and knowledge of finance in order to effectively contribute to the company's leadership team and make informed decisions. The training programme will cover some of the following key concepts mentioned below:

Financial Statements: There are three primary financial statements that every non-finance professionals should be familiar with: the balance sheet, the Profit & Loss Statement, and the Cash Flow statement. The balance sheet shows a company's financial position at a specific point in time, the Profit & Loss statement shows a company's revenues and expenses over a specific period of time, and the cash flow statement shows the movement of cash in and out of a company over a specific period of time. These statements can help the non-finance professionals understand the company's financial position, performance, and cash flow.

Financial Ratios: In addition to financial statements, non-finance professionals should also be familiar with some key financial ratios, such as the debt-to-equity ratio, the current ratio, and the return on equity (ROE). These ratios can help non-finance professionals understand a company's financial health, its liquidity, and its ability to generate profits.

Capital Structure: Non-finance professionals should be aware of a company's capital structure, which refers to the mix of debt and equity that a company uses to finance its operations. A company's capital structure can have a significant impact on its financial performance and risk profile. Budgeting and Forecasting: Non-finance professionals should understand the importance of budgeting and forecasting; as these tools can help a company plan for the future and make informed decisions about resource allocation.

Risk Management: Non-finance professionals should be aware of the risks faced by the companies in past and how they are being managed now. This includes understanding the company's risk appetite, as well as the types of risks that the company is exposed to (e.g. financial, operational, compliance, etc.).
