Finance & Accounting Course We can define accountancy as: "the identification, measurement & communication of economic information to enable the users of that information to form sensible opinions & make sensible decisions". Accounting is surrounded by mystique & "jargon", &, as a professional skill, it requires a high degree of technical expertise. However, it is a very "common-sense" activity & addresses some very basic issues & questions about the nature of businesses & the real-life events, people & activities that make them work. One of the problems with accounting is that many people focus on the "count" component of the word, & believe that it is no more than counting or "doing the numbers". Nothing could be further from the truth! Look at the complete word! Very few people when asked to give an account of themselves, will express themselves in quantitative terms - shoe size, IQ, height & weight. Rather, they offer information in qualitative terms - where they live, what they do, their background, likes, dislikes, family, occupation & so on. Indeed they will "tell a story" - which is what accounting strives to do for an organisation - albeit, today largely in financial terms. ...

This course will enable students with little knowledge of finance to lay the foundations for decision making in financial management. ...

Financial Strategy Course This course builds directly on the Finance & Accounting Foundation Course. Topics in accounting usually have a fairly clearly defined answer. There are techniques available to generate a solution, often in the form of an accounting statement. However, accounting, especially financial accounting, tends to be historic in outlook (i.e. backward-looking), focusing on reporting & analysing past behaviour & performance. The perspective of finance is rather different. Finance focuses on recommending appropriate financial policies designed to optimise the interest of the owners of the firm. Because none of us can predict the future, our policy recommendations are often hedged in with uncertainty. ...
