Finance for Non-Financial Managers (Young Professionals)
Even for non-financial managers, fundamental knowledge of accounting and finance is essential. Many entrepreneurial decisions are closely linked to finance: what financing options are there and what degree of impact do they have on corporate success? How are new projects, e.g. the development of new products or markets, evaluated? What are the effects of company decisions, such as marketing campaigns, on the creditworthiness of companies?
This module gives you an introduction to the world of finance. You will acquire well-founded knowledge of the most common concepts and tools. During the two-day, practice-oriented course, you will get to know, among other things, accounting concepts and learn how to apply those in trade-off decisions, in performance management, corporate development and business as well as project valuation. Please note: the programme is taught in German.

"To manage finances – that is an essential aspect of economical success. On the one hand economic activity requires capital and on the other hand it is always accompanied by financial goals and consequences. Who wants to lead successfully, must understand markets, mortise investments and precisely calculate financial risks. Leadership strength is a result of profound knowledge, confident presentation and creativity."
