Our Participant Profile
Financial Analysis for Non-Financial Managers is designed for managers and executives who require a better understanding of the financial impact of strategic choices. They are typically:
- Decision makers within an organisation overseeing significant resources
- Mid- to senior-level executives without extensive training in managerial accounting or financial analysis
- From functional areas outside of Finance, including: Operations; Marketing; Research and Engineering; Legal; Strategy and General Management
For senior level executives who already possess some basic skills in finance and accounting but wish to develop these further we recommend INSEAD’s Finance for Executives programme. Finance for Executives is a two week residential programme that begins with a review of the basics of financial analysis, but moves on to more advanced topics such as the cost of capital; capital structure decisions; and mergers and acquisitions – among other topics.

Learning in action to make better decisions
Financial Analysis gives you the tools, the language and the confidence to work with balance sheets, income statements, cash flow and working capital. You master the financial KPIs and you come away feeling substantially more comfortable with the complexity. But perhaps more than that, you emerge from the programme a better decision-maker. And for that reason, I would recommend it to anyone.
