Different investment projects generate different cash flows and different levels of risk. The problem is that choices have to be made among competing uses for funds because businesses typically face constraints on the availability of capital.
Financial tools make it possible to reduce a bewildering array of cash flows spread over a variety of time periods to more easily comparable net present values. These tools enable the efficiency principles of economics to be applied in a rigorous manner. Financial concepts also provide the link between company operations and capital markets. It is impossible to understand the behaviour of the stock market without a grasp of the principles of financial analysis.

Managers with a finance responsibility are expected to have a working knowledge of the principles and practices of financial risk management. Financial reporting is now seen as less important than skill in financial decision making. The volatility in financial and commodity markets clearly shows that firms face risks. Financial risk management aims to analyse, control, and if necessary, reduce those risks to an acceptable level. This is an essential aspect of financial management and one increasingly sought by practitioners. The course aims to integrate risk management as part of financial theory and practice.

Effective individual learning is critical if employees are to acquire the knowledge and skill needed to support the organisation's business objectives and delivery targets. The delivery of effective people development practices requires a considerable increase in commitment and enhanced skills from all managers. A shift is taking place from training (an instructor-led, content-based intervention) to learning (a self-directed, work-based process), leading to increased adaptive capacity. For these reasons, and many others, the well-rounded manager in the successful organisation usually numbers among their priorities the development of people, or human resource development.

Effective learning is key to people development. Increasingly, that
means work-based, self-directed, flexible learning. This course will
give the well-rounded manager, irrespective of their own role, the
ability to provide just that learning opportunity.
