Inquiry

This program targets the discipline and concepts of financial management.

Financial management is all-encompassing and embraces both the asset and liability sides of an organization. Although the financial manager, a senior position on par with the CFO and Treasurer, they are not engaged in the accounting functions nor that of auditing for example, but he/she is integrally involved in most aspects of deriving the net income. The financial manager, from asset/liability management, to capital structure, to working capital and identifying financing sources amongst a myriad of options and costs, some transparent others hidden or commingled all fall under this role. Given its natural overlapping, especially with treasury, vis-à-vis banking relationships and funding sources, cooperation amongst key players such as the financial manager, CFO and treasurer becomes critical for ensuring that taking, for example, a derivative position, is agreed upon and documented as a financially sound position to take. Additionally, this program covers financial analysis, developing 3-5 year business plans and discusses strategy and Islamic financing.
