FOREWORD: Engineering & technical fields base the majority of decisions on data. Finance is more that reviewing data reports, it is the evaluation of this data and the decision‐making based on evaluation that creates a fluency in finance. Having a fluency in finance propels the engineers forward in their careers and develops value within their companies. Because of the engineering mind, the language of finance and all the measurements for review and analysis, once grasped, become very familiar to this group and the learning curve is accelerated. Engineering and finance is a unique and highly desirable combination.

AGENDA | DAY ONE
Analyzing and Interpreting Financial Accounting Statements While every organization has to subscribe to the Financial Accounting model, it is rarely if ever a good model to make business decisions from. Simply, the information comes too late and it is limited by certain concepts that will be highlighted during this program. However, as this is the model that is so often used to evaluate business performance it will be discussed in detail so that we can understand how to overcome the limitations.
Understanding the accounting process Applying the fundamental accounting concepts Evaluating the performance of listed companies Tools used to identify ‘value’ Why ‘Cash is King’ Understanding commonly used words and acronyms, e.g. EBITDA, ROCE, CFROI, etc. Learning the limitations of the traditional accounting model and how to overcome them
Exercises:
Applying Accounting Concepts Analyzing & Interpreting an Annual Report Identifying Cash Flows
Management Accounting While Financial Accounting is compulsory, Management Accounting is not. However, organizations with excellent Management Information Systems have a significant competitive advantage. When an organization is under pressure to lift profits, a reflex reaction is often to slash costs. This will inevitably erode the intangible value of the organization. We need a more creative approach to identify ways of improving performance.
Understanding what drives a company’s ‘bottom line’ Analyzing it from a customer perspective Customer profitability analysis Putting a measurement system in place to include both financial and non‐financial metrics
