Financial Budgeting, Accounting and Reporting (FBAR) - online

In most organisations, financial management skills tend to be concentrated in a small core of financial management experts. Especially in small organizations and in the public sector, many employees are given responsibilities in financial management for which they have not been trained, be it budgeting, financial record keeping or financial reporting.

This course will address the basics of the financial cycle from budgeting, implementing and recording, through financial reporting. An in-depth look at the workings of bookkeeping, financial reporting, internal controlling, financial management of physical assets and stocks, as well as auditing will be covered.

At the end of the course, participants will have gained the knowledge and skills needed to understand the financial cycle of any organisation and to extract and use relevant management information from the financial management system. Moreover, participants  will  know how the backbone of the financial management system, the accounting system, is constructed and why. Participants will be able to recognise and use standard financial reports for planning, internal control and financial management.

Participants are assessed during both, the distance-based and on-campus phases of the courses, through individual and team assignments, professional presentations, quizzes or short tests, reflective papers and proposed projects.
