Finance for Non-Financial Managers
Every manager needs to understand finance if they are to play an active role in helping their organisation achieve its objectives. However, not every manager needs the same level of skill and understanding as specialist financial managers. A good knowledge of the key concepts of prudent financial management as modern financial accounting should equip all managers with the knowledge they require.
In the Chartered Management Institute's Diploma in Management there is an excellent module on financial management (043 Effective Financial Management). The APM Group's Certificate in Finance for Non-Financial Managers covers the syllabus from that module and provides unit accreditation for the complete Diploma. It is available as either a paper examination or on-line.
