• Understand key financial and accounting terms such as capitalization, discretionary credit, zero-based budgeting, and break-even point
• Make informed management decisions by analyzing them from a financial point of view
• Examine the performance of your department or product line so you can establish realistic bottom-line goals

Course Objective: Build on existing financial and accounting skills to make informed managerial decisions from a financial perspective.
