Leading Financial Statement Analysis Teams
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers budgeting and variance analysis and fraud detection from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because reporting standards keep moving and finance teams carry the consequence of getting them wrong, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with financial instruments, cost allocation and capital budgeting in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put financial instruments on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against GRAP for public entities
- Explain cost allocation to someone who does not do the work
- Make a decision about capital budgeting without waiting for a specialist
- Take ownership of audit readiness rather than escalating it
