Join us for this one-day practical training on finance for non-finance managers
This practical, one-day program, headed by Sarjit Singh, Director at Deloitte Learning Solutions SEA, demystifies finance for professionals without a financial background. It equips participants with the essential concepts, tools, and language of finance so they can understand financial reports, interpret key numbers, and make more informed business decisions. Using simple frameworks, case studies, and hands-on exercises, the session builds confidence to engage with finance colleagues and contribute to organizational success.
A distinctive feature of the program is its focus on building confidence in financial communication – using “storytelling with numbers” to present financial insights clearly and persuasively to stakeholders. The course concludes with lessons drawn from corporate failures and financial scandals, offering valuable insights into governance, ethics, and the warning signs of financial distress.
