Whether this session might be relevant for you or your Management / Leadership team members: have you ever wondered why ‘finance and accounting stuff’ is treated like assumed knowledge? Especially if you’re in business, or a management position, or just curious even; and haven’t done a commerce / finance / accounting (or similar) degree?

Ever felt a little in the deep end; caught thinking that now you’re in a more senior position, it’s ‘too late’ to ask finance questions; or maybe had a vague feeling there’s things you should know, but have never been taught?

Considered trying to up-skill on it, but not even sure what you don’t know yet?

Or wanting your team to up-skill on this stuff, but not sure where to point them?

And worried that if you do, it’ll be boring and dry as heck, chew up a day of your time and deliver nothing practical?

Well: we got you.

Presented by Stacie Shaw, Partner at PKF Newcastle, our “Finance Training for Decision Makers” session is tailored to enable you to:

- Understand main accounting terms and ratios

- Interpret common financial reports

- Have the confidence required to own the ‘numbers’ conversations and take control of your financial responsibilities

- Plus provide practical and pragmatic insights into finance and accounting

- AND, we’ll provide light refreshments – how good is that?!

Speaker:

Consenting to act as a Company Director without a full understanding of the key responsibilities and obligations imposed is risky business.

Do you wonder whether obligations exist that you’re not even aware of – and are keen to educate yourself, without being buried in legislation? Are you confident that your personal interests are fully protected as you carry out your duties? Do you have some ‘silly questions’ that you’ve been afraid to ask, or not sure who you can ask? Simon provides guidance on obligations and best practices for fulfilling responsibilities effectively and ethically.
