Fundamentals of Cost Accounting
Finance and Accounting|2 days|Classroom or live online
Fundamentals of Cost Accounting is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through consolidation and management accounting 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 working capital management, cash flow forecasting and lease accounting in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve working capital management within their own organisation, measured against IFRS
- Put cash flow forecasting on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Review lease accounting and say plainly whether it is working
- Make a decision about cost allocation without waiting for a specialist
