The Role of the FD: Strategist, Investor, Financier

The finance director plays a central role in any organisation. That is especially true in times of economic retrenchment. Yet while financial education focuses considerable attention on many individual finance tasks, relatively little attention is focussed on an integrated view of the role of the finance director. This course aims to provide such a view, with an emphasis on those aspects of the role that tend to be underplayed in formal education.

Who Is This Course Aimed At?

This course is suitable for finance directors and those who are about to become finance directors.
