About the FBNFFM Program
Managers outside finance still sign off budgets and business cases. This program explains the financial statements, the language behind them and the numbers that drive decisions, using worked examples rather than theory. Participants read a profit and loss account, follow cash through a business, build a departmental budget and assess a simple investment case. Delivered in-house at the client's premises or live virtual, it gives non-financial managers the confidence to question numbers and defend their own.
