Basic Accounting and Finance for Non-Accounting Professionals

In today's complex business landscape, understanding the fundamentals of accounting and finance is crucial, even for professionals outside the traditional accounting domain. Accounting functions as the business's primary communication tool, offering a structured method for documenting, examining, and deciphering financial data. Its tasks include transaction recording, financial statement preparation, and performance analysis. Proficiency in accounting basics empowers non-accounting professionals to decode financial reports, evaluate organizational financial well-being, and pinpoint opportunities for enhancement or expansion.

To strengthen the value of any function in an organization, leaders, and specialists need to know the language of business, and that includes the financial components that have traditionally measured business progress and success.  This course is designed to help you do just that.
