It focuses on the tools to management in directing and controlling the activities of a business to determine whether targets are being met within acceptable risk parameters.<br>This is a "nuts and bolts" course which begins with an examination of (short-term) working capital management covering how to right size and monitor working capital and tackling credit controls. We review the process of "managing the numbers", that is, the more traditional approach using the analysis of financial results and the use of ratios as a control tool.<br>The program then pushes into more pro-active managerial tools reflecting cutting edge organizations that are results orientated: standard costing, relevant costing and cost behavior are examined with a view to achieving the most effective budgetary planning and variance analysis processes. Activity-based costing and Beyond Budgeting are compelling examples of the more pragmatic and practical approach to planning and controlling.<br>A key part of the course is the focus on how successful companies focus on EVA (economic value added) and how to use EVA to practically assess the value that a business is creating of their business and how they design and implement appropriate KPI (key performance indicators) and OKR systems (objectives and key results). The course incorporates how to consider and implement more recent trends in the applications of using blockchain as an effective control tool.<br>The program concludes with an interactive case study and discussion of sound internal controls and the COSO framework. All of the above are key areas that a controller must be familiar with in order to effectively perform the controlling function, thereby safeguarding company assets and the bottom line from uncontrolled risks.<br>Read more&nbsp;<p>Cost: 5670 USD</p><p>Duration: 5 Days</p>					]]>				  </description>				  <pubDate>Wed, 26 Feb 2020 18:09:11 +04</pubDate>				</item> 								<item><title><![CDATA[Cost Accounting and Management  - LEORON Professional Development Institute , Dubai ]]></title><link>https://courses.laimoon.com/course/cost-accounting-and-management-leoron-professional-development-institute/online</link>				  <description>				  <![CDATA[<p>Managing costs is an important aspect of managing a company's profitability and efficiency.&nbsp;</p><p>During this course, we will review the various methods available to assign costs to products and services, as well as the more qualitative aspects of costing, namely quality costs and environmental costing.&nbsp;</p><p>We will also review how the control of costs can help management to make more efficient short-term business decisions and how we can analyse the efficiency of costing methods.

Financial management relies crucially on two principal activities which are extensively examined in the program: one is the investment decision, that is, putting productive assets on the balance sheet; and two, the financing decision, which is concerned with optimal capital structuring on the liability side, that is, the use of debt in relation to equity.<br
/>This course is crucial for all financial managers who require a rigorous understanding of how corporate value creation is linked to the timing and riskiness of cash flows and the cost of capital. The participant will gain practical insight into the management of working capital, the performance of financial analysis, including an examination of the relevant metrics and value drivers in managing the business, as well as consideration of the sources of long-term financing to the firm.
