This four-day (4 hours per session) stand-alone course continues the work of laying the foundation for financial analysis, moving into the transition phase by establishing an understanding of ratio analysis in respect of working capital, Share and valuation terminology, and the Time Value of Money.

This is the pathway into finance, moving slowly in a carefully structured progression, with plenty of practical exercises each step along the way. By leading the student gradually into the world of finance, it not only teaches the structure and terminology of business finance, but opens the mind to the way of thinking that is specific to financial reporting. It covers sufficient ground for the student to feel confident in discussing financial results, and moves slowly enough for them to retain what they have learnt without being overwhelming or too technical.

Successful candidates will receive a certificate from Johannesburg School of Finance which will also confirm the completion of one module of the School’s Financial Management Programme. The Financial Management Programme is a unique programme comprising a series of four-day modules in practical financial management designed to develop excellent skills for effective business decisions.
