Financial Analysis, Planning and Control
Upgrade and enhance your understanding of best corporate practices in these areas!

FOR A BROCHURE AND REGISTRATION FORM IN PDF ...click here

Management has been defined as “the art of asking significant questions.” The same applies to financial analysis, planning and control, which should be targeted toward finding meaningful answers to these significant questions – whether or not the results are fully quantifiable.

This seminar not only presents the key financial tools generally used, but also explains the broader context of how and where they are applied to obtain meaningful answers. It provides a conceptual backdrop both for the financial/economic dimensions of systematic business management and for understanding the nature of financial statements, analyzing data, planning and controlling.

The seminar provides delegates with the tools required to find better answers to questions such as:

  • What is the exact nature and scope of the issue to be analyzed?
  • Which specific variables, relationships, and trends are likely to be helpful in analyzing the issue?
  • Are there possible ways to obtain a quick “ballpark” estimate of the likely result?
  • How precise an answer is necessary in relation to the importance of the issue itself?
  • How reliable are the available data, and how is this uncertainty likely to affect the range of results?
  • Are the input data to be used expressed in cash flow terms – essential for economic analysis – or are they to be applied within an accounting framework to test only the financial implications of a decision?
  • What limitations are inherent in the tools to be applied, and how will these affect the range of results obtained?
  • How important are qualitative judgments in the context of the issue, and what is the ranking of their significance?

Who should attend?

This seminar is a ‘must’ for Chief Financial Officers, Financial Controllers, Finance Executives, Accountants, Treasurers, Corporate Planning and Business Development Executives and Sales and Marketing Professionals.

Middle and junior personnel will also find this seminar highly useful in their career advancement. All participants will be able to offer their input, based on their individual experiences, and will find the seminar a forum for upgrading and enhancing their understanding of best corporate practices in the areas examined.
