What You'll Learn

The bottom line is where success is often measured, and all decision-makers, regardless of their role, benefit from learning about the topics of Financial Management, Accounting and Decision-Making, and Cash Flows and Taxes. A well-rounded leader understands the language of finance and its impact on the organization.

The introductory topic of Financial Management begins by comparing valuation methods, capital budgeting, and investment risk and return, as well as providing a broad overview of common finance terminology.  Accounting and Decision-Making focus on managerial accounting and dive into planning and control, performance evaluation and measurement, and their impact on ROI. Finally, the Cash Flows and Taxes module discusses how to effectively incorporate accounting and cash flow information into decision-making, specifically on whether to invest; however, the processes explained here can be used when making almost any type of business decision.
