Training course overview
Accounting is often referred to as the language of business, serving as the primary means through which managers communicate financial and economic information to external stakeholders like shareholders and creditors. Financial literacy is essential for anyone in business.
Every company's narrative, regardless of size or industry, is conveyed through its financial records. Key metrics such as income, debt, revenue, expenses, compensation, and customer retention costs are reflected in financial statements.
Even non-financial managers eventually need to justify their actions financially and make decisions based on numerical data. Without a clear understanding of financial information and the right questions to ask, effectiveness can be compromised.
