Finance for non-finance managers (AAT Essentials training)

This course provides a basic grounding in key financial areas, as well as analysing financial performance to help managers meet these requirements more effectively.

It's suitable for managers who have financial responsibilities and need to understand the content of financial statements and reports used in business, and learn to interpret this information and use it to manage day-to-day business activity.

After completing the course, delegates will be able to:

• understand basic financial documents used in business
