We are conducting a workshop for a private group on financial analysis for non financial persons / executives in May. We are also thinking of offering the same to the public (except that it will only be up to 5.00 pm). If you have the time, would appreciate it if you could fill out the survey form by clicking this link here.

Thanks.

Financial Analysis for Non-Financial Persons Workshop (2
days)
As companies aim to
enhance their corporate value, it is vital that all members of the company,
both financial and non-financial, are able to understand and analyse financial information,
particularly the balance sheet, profit and loss account and cash flow
statement. This financial knowledge is important to ensure that business
decisions are made properly, reducing the risks of losses and value destruction
caused by wrong decisions due to the lack of financial knowledge.
This 2-day Financial
Analysis for Non-Financial Persons Workshop aims to raise the level of
financial awareness of the participants, where at the end of the seminar, they
would be able to use the financial information provided to them to make better business
decisions.
