Financial Coaching

Overview

Financial information underpins every aspect of business operations and strategy; consequently, understanding its meaning is an essential part of executive knowledge and skills.

​

No treatment of an operational issue, or indeed the very process of making management decisions is complete, or effective, without an in-depth evaluation if its impact on the ultimate financial wellbeing of the business.

​

The relevance of these skill is even more important in joint stock companies where the stewardship responsibilities vested in the executive management are subject to intense public and regulatory scrutiny and accountability.

​

A fundamental requirement of that stewardship is the need to optimise the usage of the company resources in a way that maximises shareholder wealth. Thus, financial literacy is of vital importance to senior managers and executives.
