International Financial Management

Introduction - 2 Days

Course Overview

The economic world, post autumn 2008, has radically changed. Many people were naïve in terms of what was going on around them and even those supposedly “in the know” were making elementary mistakes, and were taking far greater risks than would normally be the case. If you want a much sounder understanding of International Finance then this course provides the key building blocks upon which to build that knowledge.

For those with little or no formal training in finance, this highly interactive two-day programme concentrates on the principles, tools and techniques of international financial management. Supported by analysis, practical exercises, and case studies this course will give you the understanding and ability to discuss and present the key aspects of international finance. You will also have a much better understanding of the impact your decision have upon your business.
