Designed to develop confidence and understanding of financial skills, this programme demystifies the role of finance in contracts by covering some of the key issues, concepts and jargon used by accountants and contractors. It explores the relationship between cost and value and covers cost control in long term contract relationships; the balance sheet – seeing the real business behind the numbers; the profit and loss account – developing the confidence to challenge the numbers; long term project appraisal techniques and seeing the bigger financial picture – how the City rates the companies you work with.

This is designed for those who have little or no formal training in the subject and provides an excellent refresher for those who are comfortable with finance and an opportunity for those with some understanding to broaden their knowledge.
