If you think, or say, 'I don't do numbers' and you run a business, or have management responsibilities, you can't be in control if you don't understand what numbers you need to measure and take notice of, and what they are telling you.

This autumn the Chichester Chamber of Commerce & Industry is running a series of workshops on management subjects and I’m delivering ‘Finance for Non-Financial People’. The aim of this workshop, on 23rd November, is to provide a general introduction to the finance function and increase the confidence and ability of non-financial managers and or staff to contribute positively when finance is being discussed and financial decisions are being made.

At the end of the workshop delegates will be able to:

• Understand basic financial terminology and concepts
• Navigate the main financial statements
• Assess the financial health of an organisation using simple ratios
• Prepare and manage financial budgets
• Understand the tools used in the decision making process for capital investment appraisals

I’m not an accountant and before I was pushed into studying the ACCA Certified Diploma in Accounting and Finance I too was scared by numbers and unable to interpret their meaning so I understand your plight.

If you can’t afford to risk making bad decisions, or fail to manage the financial health of your business, then this is the course for you.

Numbers are limited so to reserve a place book here.

If this date is not convenient for you please contact the Chamber of Commerce on office@chichestercci.org.uk as if there is sufficient demand the workshop will be repeated.
