Overview The effective management of finances is a fundamental function for any organisation but particularly so in the public sector. Governments, under the scrutiny of the citizens they represent, are increasingly under pressure to improve public services whilst at the same time identifying ways to cut spending and increase efficiency. This programme recognises these difficulties and ensures that participants leave the programme with a full understanding of effective financial management in the public sector - including budgeting systems, auditing, preparing financial statements and tracking expenditure. 

Overview For internal employees who want to understand and expand their roles related to financial reporting, as well as those who simply need a refresher on financial accounting, this course is the ideal way to get up to speed. By exploring concepts that go beyond basic accounting, this course will enable participants to approach financial auditing with renewed confidence. The programme will walk participants through an analysis of an organization's financial statements using case study exercises, where participants will calculate key ratios and analyze trends over time. Engaging in discussions on both historic and current fraud cases, participants will learn how to recognize “red flags” in financial statement reporting.

Overview We encounter lots of incidents every day at home or at work in which we need to think deeply about our decisions. Making the right choice not only saves time but also saves money and makes everyone happy. In this course, participants will learn how to refine their intuitions in order to make them trustable. Critical thinking and analysis will be a practice and habit for them and they will find themselves subconsciously using them. They will learn how to make sensible conclusions out of the data they managed to gather.
