Basic Finance: Finance for non-Financial Managers

Cidermill's "Basic Finance: Finance for non-Financial Managers" training course
All professionals and managers need a basic understanding of business finance: how to read and understand a Profit & Loss Statement and Balance Sheet; how to identify trends and opportunities from simple financial ratios; how dramatic and lasting business improvements can be made from pivotal changes.

Understanding how business finance works is important for everyone in an organisation to relate their own activities to the overall performance of the organisation. But feeling comfortable discussing financial issues is also vital when negotiating with suppliers and customers.

Cidermill provides a choice of either a one-day or two-day workshop to meet this need, using board-based business simulations that are effective, exciting and fun. Delegates learn

  • how capital revolves through a business
  • the meaning of financial statements and ratios
  • basic business improvement strategies
  • the importance of cash

by running a business for a period of 3 or more years.

One-day course:
The one-day course covers concepts of annual reports and financial statements. By managing a simulated company for 3 years, delegates learn how to relate roles and responsibilities to the performance of an enterprise, and how to spot opportunities for improvement. This one-day course features Celemi's Apples & Oranges® learning product.

Two-day course:
The two-day course features a more sophisticated business simulation, in which teams of delegates compete for market share, invest in business improvement, and develop new products. The course helps develop team-building skills and mutual understanding across different departments of an enterprise. This two-day course features Celemi's Decision Base® learning product.
