Professional Directors Association Authorised Courses.
Company law requires all Board Directors to understand their own accounts and holds the Directors collectively responsible for the validity of their annual financial accounts. The law demands a good knowledge of finance from all directors. To be a successful business also requires strong financial capabilities, which this Finance for Non-Finance Directors course will provide.
All Directors would benefit from this course, from new Directors right up to the Chief Executive and the Chair. This is because most Directors have absorbed financial knowledge piecemeal from their colleagues. That knowledge is often patchy and incomplete. This course will provide a solid and complete financial knowledge base, upon which to build a high level of financial knowledge and skills.
