UPCOMING FINANCE COURSES 2010

                   Waterfront Conferences and Training (WCT)
                     “Transforming Careers Through Learning and Development”

 

We all play a role in our organisation's financial health, whether we realise it or not. Finance plays a key role in the functioning and success of an organisation. It is essential for you as a manager to have a working knowledge of finance, to allow you to effectively participate in the decision-making process.
 
A good financial understanding will also help you to ensure that your organisation does not run into cash flow problems. One of the major causes of poor cash flow is the failure of companies to collect the monies owed to them. This has become an onerous task in our country, and one that is laden with hidden costs and unsuccessful outcomes!
 
Take this opportunity to upgrade your financial knowledge so that you can contribute more competently and fully appreciate the figures being used in budgeting and planning, as well as keeping an eye on the debtor’s books to make sure your company is not running into trouble!

  • Reviewing relevant sections of the latest legislation that directly affects your organisation, as all credit providers have to comply
