Course overview
What Is Leadership in Finance?
Leadership in finance is the capability to steer an organisation’s money decisions and lead the team behind them. Participants move from producing reports to shaping strategy: interpreting statements and forecasts, appraising investments, controlling risk, applying governance and ethical standards, and leading finance people who act as advisers to every other department.
Interactive workshops, real-world case studies and practical simulations have participants dissect accounts, compare investments and present conclusions to colleagues outside finance, as finance leaders in Libya are asked to do.
Finance managers, financial analysts, risk managers, investment professionals and executives in Libya, as well as emerging leaders and recent graduates, join the course to lead financial decisions with confidence and integrity.
