OVERVIEW
Increasingly, all executives, especially those moving into managerial level, need to
understand and apply financial know-how
in their daily work. Executives need to also know how the business’s operation activities are being captured in the financial reports and what they can do to help improve the business performance. Gaining financial acumen as part of management skills is very important for anyone who
wishes to progress up
the career path
in any organisation, regardless of their current role and responsibilities.
In these tough times, there is an even greater need to understand financial information, particularly the balance sheet, profit and loss account, and cash flow statement as companies strive to enhance their shareholder value. Decisions made without properly understanding the financial implications may lead to reduced profits (or even losses), and a reduction in shareholder value.

This workshop will provide basic financial principles and cover the generic financial management tools necessary for decision making . Learning is achieved through examples and topic-related class activities which reinforce theory and successfully simplify the financial topic for the non-financial person .

. In addition, you will learn to carry out an effective investment appraisal process. This is an essential skill for all non-finance professionals such as board members, company secretaries, directors, managers and high level executives across all industry types.

OVERVIEW Protect Your Business Against Expensive Malpractices and Fraudulent Behaviour The rise in contract management and the outsourcing of goods and services has created an increase in procurement fraud, which can occur at any stage of the contracting and procurement process. Appropriate controls, fraud prevention strategies and proper tendering processes are necessary in the fight against this fraud. It is important to remember that maintenance of financial controls remains critical in this age of digitalisation. Public and private sectors must continue to comply with legal responsibilities and related guidance on financial governance. It is essential that all staff maintain financial records and decision logs – regardless of any circumstances - so that audit trails are preserved . Procurement, finance, and payroll staff – as well as those who requisition or authorise the purchase of goods, services and works should familiarise themselves with the controls set out to prevent fraud , identify key parameters for auditors in assessing the risk of sub-optimal procurement, and how they should prioritise and conduct their audits to check if these risks have materialised, including the risk of fraud and corruption. Procurement fraud can occur through departmental purchasing of goods and services, as well as through contractual arrangements with external service providers. It can occur in many different ways. Fraud within the procurement life cycle is high risk and can result in recurring losses. You may be at risk due to fraudulent activities conducted by internal staff, collusion between internal staff and external service providers or external service provider or industry collusion. This workshop offers insight into the specific risks and possible management techniques in procurement in good or tough times. This 14 hours training programme would equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and techniques to deter, prevent, and detect various devastating types of fraud. Learn how to identify procurement fraud situations, uncover rogue operatives and threats and provide a higher level of transparency and control over all elements of your purchasing requirements.
