Finance and Cost Management Essentials Course/Class June 29, 2011

Managers and supervisors make decisions every day that influence the financial well being of an organisation; however, the impact of these decisions is not necessarily understood from a financial and cost control perspective. This course introduces you to the types of financial records that are kept by a business and how to interpret these records. The course also covers how to manage costs and determine whether a favourable or unfavourable cost variance has arisen and what type of corrective action could then be taken from a financial perspective. Forecasting, setting and managing budgets and the interpretation of financial ratios to assist with decision-making will also be addressed. Details of this event may be subject to change.
