Course Synopsis
With increasing competition and focus on corporate
earnings, project managers are held accountable, not
just for achieving implementation and scheduling goals,
but also for meeting profitability targets and other costrelated
measures. This course explores the financial
metrics that are commonly used and also examines the
less frequently thought of financial impact of operating
decisions and actions. Building on competencies
developed in the core management curriculum you will
examine the inner mechanics of how finance and
accounting can impact your project.
Learn about common financial analysis tools in the
project environment that link project management to
broader corporate strategic goals. Case studies and
project-related exercises give you the opportunity to
apply these proven tools and techniques.
Understand how finance often drives organisational
decisions and evaluations of project performance. Learn
how the financial health of your organisation can be
significantly affected by operating decisions regarding
pricing as well as terms and conditions and asset
management.
