Understanding financials is essential for every professional

You will perform better if you know how to read annual reports, how to produce financial reports yourself, how to draw up budgets, and how to interpret financial indicators. This programme will enable you to analyse, synthesise and communicate on financial matters with confidence.

The package 'Financial Management for Non-Financial Managers' comprises three programmes: 'Understanding Annual Reports', 'Mastering Costs and Budgets' and 'Fundamentals of Financial Management'. These topics form the cornerstones of solid financial decisions, policies and processes within every company and are therefore essential to any professional that wishes to stand on a firm footing when it comes to financial matters.

The Vlerick Approach

Vlerick connects theory to practice, and back again. Theoretical concepts and insights turn tangible through pratical examples, cases and exercises. Such case studies present excellent opportunities to compare notes with faculty and fellow participants, offering different angles of analysis and refreshing options for action.

What sets this programme apart is the width and depth of the perspective offered on the essential concepts of financial management: penetrating insights into all aspects of balance sheets and annual reports, a toolkit for controlling costs and budgets and for making informed and balanced investment decisions. Financial issues will daunt you no longer.
