INTRODUCTION
Every industry is continually changing and our travel industry is no different. All these market changes are adversely impacting our business performance and making it more difficult to survive.
It is becoming more critical for all business managers, not just the directors and owners, to better manage their profits and growth and also to identify and manage the key business risks affecting their business in order to ensure their business survival.
In line with this objective, we are coming up with a series of courses under the title “A Manager’s Guide to Travel” designed to help the business managers, directors and owners tackle the market challenges.
PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
This course “A Practical Approach to Financial Accounting” is the first under this Manager’s Guide to Travel series and is designed to help the participants understand their business in a language expressed in numbers. With this foundation in numbers, we will go on to introduce future topics on Profitability, Growth and Business Risks.
Using practical examples and real cases from the travel industry participants will learn of the commonly encountered situations where they will understand the numbers behind the decisions and performance measures.
Having a solid understanding of financial terms, statements and metrics is critical to becoming a successful entrepreneur or manager.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Participants will become comfortable with basic accounting tools and concepts that they need to more effectively manage their business. They will become a much more confident user of financial information and will be able to effectively engage with their finance leaders.
Participants will learn how to interpret and use the information contained in financial statements to make key operating decisions, evaluate business performance and create forecasts of cash flow.
