A Note from the Trainer
 
"This is a practical course, ideal for the busy executive who has to assess the impact of management decisions on Working Capital. It is based on tried and tested appraisal methods which I have used in practice.
 
"This course is designed for those without any formal training in financial management. It would also benefit any executives wishing to refresh their skills. Whilst delegates commonly find this a challenging day, you do not need to be a mathematician or an  accountant to understand the content.
 
"I am confident that you will find this a helpful and very useful programme."
