Handbook

This course introduces core concepts and principles associated with the financial management of organisations. Drawing on financial and management accounting and aspects of corporate finance, this course introduces students to core business skills including the ability to read and interpret financial statements, an understanding of sources of revenue and drivers of costs as well as insights into the ways that organisations are financed and how this impacts the business.

Students will also be introduced to principles of extended reporting, such as integrated reporting, that seek to provide insights into the financial performance of organisations but also their social impact. Students will have the opportunity to apply the concepts covered in this course to real world examples and will gain an appreciation of how these concepts can be used to help shape business decisions. By the end of the course, students will feel confident in using accounting and financial information.
