Introduction

It is crucial that today’s business professionals understand the flow of financial resources. Such an understanding is needed daily; whether it is used to anticipate trends, evaluate company performance or obtain funding. People from non-financial backgrounds are often called upon to make decisions based on modern financial products, and they must have the know-how to navigate the financial systems that have a significant impact on their professional responsibilities.

Eourpean quality has created the 5 Day MBA in Finance to provide business professionals with a deeper understanding of corporate finance as practiced by today’s most powerful companies. Designed specifically for non-financial personnel, this intensive seminar approaches the subject of finance as it relates to the corporation as a whole.

The highlights of the seminar include:

Extensive and deep coverage of the subject area
Real world approach to the discipline
