Audience

Is it right for me?

 

It is generally accepted that there are four core business resources of which finance is one.  Failure to understand finance is a serious oversight as financial information is used to analyse and assess risk.  All financial appraisals require a balanced view and cannot be simply numerically based.  For this reason it is prerequisite for all business managers to develop their skills and understanding of financial aspects.

This highly practical workshop will prepare you for the challenges faced on a day-to-day basis and focuses on minimising risk at the pre-contract stage of the procurement cycle.  It will equip you to accurately assess your supplier prior to inviting bids.
