CFO of the Future 3 – Cost & Profitability Analysis will help you to see beyond budgets and accounting statements to find where the deep cost reduction and profit-making opportunities are. This involves learning new practices and techniques, including ‘lean practice’ and ‘process mapping’ as well as the power of ‘transparent information’.

Learning outcomes include obtaining a greater understanding of:

  • How to learn from ‘lean’ practices (including value stream costing, target costing and lean accounting).
  • How to use process maps and cost drivers to identify and eliminate non-value costs.
  • How to use lean practices in both manufacturing and service organisations.
  • How to identify strategic and profitable products and customers (and deal with those that aren’t).
  • How to reduce expenses (such as travel, marketing, IT, etc.) using various techniques and practices including benchmarking, shared services centres, internal markets, outsourcing and peer scrutiny.
  • Case examples are drawn from a wide range of organisations.

Who is this course for?

The CFO of the Future workshops are aimed at existing and aspiring CFOs (including finance directors/controllers/managers, strategic/business planners, mid-level finance staff and anyone responsible for improving the finance and planning operations) who want to improve their knowledge and performance. They are applicable to both the private and public sectors.

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.
