Main Goal
Managers are constantly faced with financial data and concepts that they must not only understand and analyze, but also manage and communicate to others. Moreover, managers working for international companies or groups must gain a comprehensive knowledge of international accounting principles and have the ability to discuss them with the holding company or headquarters by using appropriate finance terms. Finance for Executives is specifically designed for managers working at international companies and willing to develop a greater understanding and awareness of the economic implications of their decisions when it comes to planning and defining objectives and evaluating performance.
The program is designed to provide a strong foundation in finance to executives who want to understand how to use actionable and practical tools to identify and effectively communicate the financial implications of their decisions. More specifically, by the end of this program, senior-level executives will be able to show the financial return and the impact of strategic initiatives on company value, also by analyzing risks and all the potential upsides and downsides of their decisions. Thanks to this knowledge, participants will be ready to promote a real and effective business partnership between Finance and other corporate functions in order to propel the growth of their company, subsidiary, or business unit - helping them to move forward in their careers.
The course has an additional focus on strategies for generating value and methods for assessing the value of a company, not just in terms of the economic/financial field but also in a broader sense that includes sustainability and the social/economic impact.
The Finance for senior executives course is for anyone who wants to broaden their knowledge in economic and finance disciplines.
The program is designed for CEOs, General Managers, Heads of Function in multinational companies or groups as well as General Managers of local subsidiaries.
To fully take advantage of the lessons and course opportunities, we recommend having at least 10 years of professional experience.
