NTU course on Basic Accounting Management

A knowledge of basic accounting and financial management is essential for any technical professionals moving up the corporate ladder or are already occupying a leadership position. To be effective and value-add in his/her work, the leader/executive would need to be able to read financial statements intelligently, understand financial terms, and most importantly, to assess the financial impact of many of his/her decisions on the organization.

One of the many expectations of leadership today is to be able to develop and manage budgets. Therefore, an appreciation of costs and their behavior, the various budgeting methods, and the management of common budgeting issues would come in handy to ensure broader corporate financial goals are achieved.

Participants at the end of the course will:
* Have a good appreciation of the terminologies used in accounting.
* Read financial statements, as well as to analyze and assess the basic financial and operating health of an entity.
* Learn the different classification of costs and their behavior, and how these will have significant implications on financial management and budgeting.
* Explore and discuss different types of budgeting techniques as well as the practical issues encountered in budgeting.
* Appreciate how a system of internal controls can help to play an important role in safeguarding valuable company assets and resources.
