2) The Basics of Accounting

Although most businesses use professional accountants to prepare their annual accounts and handle all the tax filings, this doesn’t mean that business owners and managers can give up all responsibility for keeping the books in order.

An effective bookkeeping system can help you avoid cash flow problems, ensure compliance with tax and business regulations, and make better financial decisions. But where do you start? Even the basics of accounting can seem confusing at first. This course will guide you toward an appreciation for some of the key terminology, and then the numbers will start to make sense.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Differentiate between the methods of cash basis accounting and accrual accounting
• Organize your accounts by type – Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Revenues, and Expenses
• Explain the principle of double-entry bookkeeping
• Describe the purpose of the key financial statements – the income statement, the balance sheet, and the cash flow statement

3) Working Capital Management

You can always tell a business is doing well by looking at its profits, right? That’s the bottom line. Well, hold on. It’s not the full picture. What if the business has great profits, but isn’t holding enough cash to keep the lights on? Running out of cash can spell disaster for businesses. That’s why it’s important to manage working capital.

Working capital management ensures that a business has enough funds to conduct its day-to-day operations, such as buying stock or paying staff. To manage working capital effectively, you need to know about the cash conversion cycle, asset monitoring, and indirect cash flows. There are also ways to improve working capital management to ensure the business's success.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Identify the 3 main elements of working capital, so you can effectively manage them
• Explain the cash conversion cycle, so you can manage the time it takes to pay monies owed
• Demonstrate an understanding of asset monitoring to maintain cash flow
• Demonstrate an understanding of the indirect method of calculating cash flows
• Manage working capital more effectively

4) Short-Term Cash Monitoring

Have you ever needed to make an unexpected purchase and suddenly discovered there’s not enough cash to pay for everything? Being short on cash can harm businesses. Even if the business is making a great overall annual profit, that doesn’t mean there won’t be cash-flow problems in the short term. That’s why short-term cash monitoring is so important.

When a business monitors short-term cash flows, it’s easier to plan and track finances. A cash-forecasting model, such as a 13-week cash flow, produces a better understanding of the amount of cash coming in and going out of a business. This is useful when you need to make short-term purchasing or budgeting decisions, and can help a business avoid a cash-flow crisis.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Describe the principles behind short-term cash modeling
• Recognize the benefits of 13-week cash flows
• Explain how to create a 13-week cash-flow model

Why take this course?

It’s important to know how to monitor cash flows in any business. So, if you’re a business leader, team leader, or manager, this course will suit you. You’ll learn about short-term cash modeling principles, the benefits of looking at short-term cash flows, and how to create a 13-week cash-flow model.

5) Key Financial Statements

Don’t you just hate doing paperwork and filling out forms? But we all have to do it, at least once a year. Preparing financial documents like statements of income and expenditure can be a real chore, especially when you don’t feel confident in your understanding of what is expected.

Let’s be honest, making sense of these things can be a struggle.

If you’re someone who slips and stumbles when they address their balance sheet, then fear not! This course will show you that you don’t have to be a qualified accountant to understand the purpose of and the terminology used in key financial statements.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Recall what the key financial statements are – for both businesses and individuals
• Understand when you might need to produce these documents
• Read and write financial statements

Why take this course?

The requirements for personal financial statements are very similar to those for businesses and other entities. We all have official documents that we need to file at certain times, some more than others. By taking this training you can reduce the pain that comes with having to compose and complete these statements.

6) Business Analysis Technique - MOST and SWOT

Every business or project starts off with a vision and a plan. But once everyone gets stuck into day-to-day work activities, it’s easy to lose sight of the big picture. And if that happens, you won’t have a good understanding of how well your business or project is working, and it may start to struggle.

You can keep your project on track by using MOST and SWOT analyses. These powerful planning and analytical tools will help you figure out what goals your organization or project needs to achieve, and how to achieve them. You’ll also gain an improved understanding of your business or project, so you can make better decisions.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

• Describe MOST and SWOT analysis techniques
• Carry out a SWOT analysis to improve understanding of a business or project
• Carry out a MOST analysis to align long-term goals with day-to-day activities

Why take this course?
