Overview

Business The Fundamentals of Finance

At its heart, every business is a numbers game. Make the numbers work in your favour and you succeed; fail to master the fundamentals of finance and it’s game over. A business cannot get by without meticulously controlled budgeting, cost-control and a constant eye on income. While accountancy focuses primarily on the maintenance of accurate records, financial management is about so much more. It’s about analysing and working with key financial data, so as to improve the profitability and performance of the business. Those who are able to perform consistently and reliably where key financial matters are concerned are rare and invaluable business assets.

This exclusive tutorial offers an insightful introduction to the fundamentals of finance from a modern business perspective. Explore the basics of budgeting, along with a series of accountancy standards, typical business costs and the various types of business budgets. Study a breakdown of the budgeting process, pick up a few essential budgeting tricks along the way and work towards becoming an elite financial professional.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
