Certificate in Strategic Finance for Non-finance Senior Executives

Course Overview

“Strategic Finance” is often narrowly defined as relating to the strategic allocation of capital within an organisation, and the underlying cost of that capital.

The focus of this course is to address the fundamental question – “What is the financial dimension of our overall business strategy?” The course considers this question primarily from the perspective of the business executive rather than from a finance manager’s viewpoint

Benefits of Attending

• Understand the financial component of your organisation’s overall business strategy
• Learn how organisations proactively develop and execute their financial strategies – Don’t consider finance as a reactive “lagging” outcome
• Understand the concept of “economic profit” and the supporting techniques of capital allocation and Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)

Learning Style

• Case Studies: Throughout the courses, the Course Director will illustrate the subjects with many case study references, including first-hand direct experiences from his long career.
• Team/Individual Exercises: Throughout both courses, delegates will undertake a number of hands-on exercises using their laptop; focus on learning by doing.

Who Should Attend

This course is aimed at a range of business executive, managerial and supervisory roles, though it is also suitable for finance professionals who wish to take a more strategic and holistic view of their discipline. It does NOT require delegates to have accounting knowledge: the focus is on managing finance within the context of business strategy, not on financial accounting technicalities.
