Advanced Financial Statement Analysis
5 days|Delivered on request
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into financial statement preparation, budgeting and variance analysis and the judgement calls that sit outside IFRS for SMEs. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because reporting standards keep moving and finance teams carry the consequence of getting them wrong. Delegates leave able to work confidently with financial instruments, internal controls and financial modelling in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Bring financial instruments into line with current good practice, measured against IFRS for SMEs
- Spot where internal controls is failing before it becomes a finding
- Explain financial modelling to someone who does not do the work
