In the wake of the crisis in the financial markets and the ever-present spectre of wider corporate failure it’s become clear that many company boards still aren’t asking the right questions about corporate financial management, interpreting the information before them, or making the links between finance, corporate strategy and governance. Has anything really changed since Maxwell and Polly Peck?

Designed for company secretaries, directors and other board colleagues, and making extensive use of real-world case studies, this one-day course examines a variety of issues in this complex area. Areas discussed include asset management and stewardship; shareholder value and wealth creation; liquidity and profitability; the use of key performance indicators; and risk and accountability.
