Cost Accounting for Non-Specialists
2 days|Delivered on request
Cost Accounting for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through capital budgeting and cash flow forecasting without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because reporting standards keep moving and finance teams carry the consequence of getting them wrong, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with impairment testing, lease accounting and cost allocation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Bring impairment testing into line with current good practice, measured against IFRS
- Make a decision about lease accounting without waiting for a specialist
- Spot where cost allocation is failing before it becomes a finding
- Put fraud detection on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
