FINANCE FOR EXECUTIVES Using financial statement analysis for evaluating decisions, actions and performance

Work
Managers are constantly faced with financial data and concepts that they must not only understand and analyze, but also manage and communicate to others. Moreover, managers working for international companies or groups must gain a comprehensive knowledge of international accounting principles and have the ability to discuss them with the holding company or headquarter representatives by using appropriate finance terminology.
SDA Bocconi School of Management designed the Finance for Executives program specifically for these managers. Participants will develop a greater understanding and awareness of the economic implications of their decisions when it comes to planning and defining objectives, and evaluating performance. Furthermore, they will improve their ability to discuss these issues with the appropriate stakeholders.

General Managers of small and medium-sized companies
