Course description

Communicating Financial Information with Impact (ICAS)

Finance Directors, CFOs, CEOs and others at all levels of an organisation all want clearly communicated information. The temptation is to spend a huge amount of time on creating visuals and reports that confuse instead of highlighting clear conclusions or recommendations.Being able to deliver complex & technical financial information professionally, effectively and concisely in a way that engages and influences key, often senior stakeholders is a crucial skill for those in financial roles. It will contribute to improved decision making in your organisation and help to drive financial health, performance and success. It will also ensure that the finance team are adding value rather than cost.This will be an energetic, engaging and highly practical one-day workshop on how to powerfully present and cleverly communicate financial information effectively and with impact both verbally and in writing. It is highly participative with plenty of activities and discussions to embed the learning.
