WORD FROM THE AUTHOR
Florence HAHNLEN
“Although you may be a manager, an entrepreneur, a project manager or head of a business unit, you are not necessarily an expert in business finance.
Nevertheless, managers have to understand and deal with financial figures on a daily basis, whether they related to the whole company, a subsidiary or the consolidated financial statements of a listed group.
Assessing risks and understanding the financial impact of decision making are prerequisites for successfully managing your business.
This course will help you to take a financial approach to your operational decision making, and to learn how to use the methods and tools needed to run your business like a financial manager according to the company’s return on capital employed objectives.
Your decisions will of course be subject to the requirements of the providers of funds – capital market participants in particular.”

WORD FROM THE AUTHOR
“Irrespective of your personal or professional circumstances, you need to grow your assets, either for yourself or for your company. You can then enjoy the fruits of these assets and continue to develop them. To grow your assets you first need to understand their language. This language is often called “Finance”.
Once you have understood this language, you can communicate with, and then challenge, your finance managers to ensure that the right decisions are made. In this program, we present the key definitions offered by this financial language, and its key financial impacts on managing a business.”

WORD FROM THE AUTHOR
Maïté ROUANNE
“International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are a set of international accounting standards that aim to guarantee uniform, clear and comparable financial information.
This module uses a hands-on approach to address the differences between French GAAP (as set out in the Plan Comptable Général or “PCG”) and the methods used to record and calculate transactions under IFRS. It helps learners to quickly understand the key questions raised by IFRS and to visualise their effects on financial statements presented under international standards.”
