supporting the finance team

The training needs of the finance team and finance community are frequently neglected. We have training solutions that help the finance community to:

• maintain and build their financial technical skills and knowledge
• share group financial practices across the organisation
• introduce new financial metrics within the organisation
• develop the business and analytical skills of the finance team to enable them to partner more effectively with functional teams
• use new financial systems effectively
• work more effectively as a team
• earn CPE points

IFRS or IPSAS conversion

With global convergence to International Financial Reporting Standards we have a suite of programmes to assist finance in making the transition and keeping up to date; from briefing the board to training in the conversion of specific standards and end of year technical updates.

supporting business analysts

Whether your analysts support their business unit managers with benchmarking and planning support or provide corporate analysis to clients we have training solutions that will:

• develop their financial analytical and interpretative skills when dealing with uk and overseas financial reports
• develop their problem solving and communication skills
• induct new recruits into your analytical methodologies
• enable them to work more effectively with business unit leaders to perform more effective financial planning

supporting executive teams and functional managers

Just as finance has recognised it needs to get closer to the functions so functional managers need to talk the language of finance and strategic planners. This might be part of a wider business skills development programme or due to significant business change arising out of:

• alignment of practices and realisation of synergies arising from mergers and acquisitions
• devolution of financial planning, reporting and control away from the centre
• introduction of new business tools such as value based management and balanced scorecards
• privatisation or working within a PPP
