Summary:
For
managers in today's business world, it's essential to have a
working knowledge of finance. We all play a role in our
organization's financial health, whether we realize it or
not. If you don't have training or a background in finance,
you may be at a disadvantage as you sit around the
management table.
Understanding the cycle of finance will help you figure out
where you fit into your company's financial structure, and
how to keep your department out of the red. This two-day
workshop will help you prepare budgets and make decisions
with confidence.
Finance Jeopardy
This
fun exercise will help you review some key concepts and
ideas with participants.
The
Fundamentals of Finance
In
this session, participants will review basic financial
concepts, generally accepted accounting principles, and the
key players and roles in finance.
The
Basics of Budgeting
Next,
participants will learn what a budget is, what common types
of budgets exist, and how their budget should fit into the
big picture.
Parts
of a Budget
Any
good plan should have four parts. This session will teach
participants what they are.
The
Budgeting Process
Participants will spend the afternoon of Day One exploring
what the budgeting process should look like through lectures
and a three-part case study.
Budgeting Tips and Tricks
To
begin Day Two, participants will look at some dos and don'ts
of budgeting.
Monitoring and Managing Budgets
In
this session, participants will explore how budgets can be
managed and monitored.
Crunching the Numbers
Next,
participants will get involved with ratio analysis,
including current ratio, quick ratio, debt ratio, net and
gross profit margin, return on sales ratio, debt to net
worth ratio, cash turnover ratio, collection ratio,
investment turnover, and return on investment.
Getting Your Budget Approved
This
session will show participants how to get around the
politics and pencil-pushers and get the money that they
need.
Comparing Investment Opportunities
Investment opportunities within the business can be big
decisions that require proper planning. This session will
give participants a quick guide to making those decisions.
ISO
9001:2008
ISO
9001:2008 is a structured process through which a company
can raise the quality of the products and services that they
provide, and then maintain that level. This session will
introduce participants to that process and explore its
impact on budgeting.
Directing the Peerless Data Corporation
Participants will spend the entire afternoon of Day Two
doing an intensive role play. They will play the role of
Operations Director of the Peerless Data Corp. As the
trainer, you will ask them to make five financial decisions.
After each decision is made, debriefing points are provided.
We have also provided discussion questions for the end of
the exercise.

We hired Rick to provide two completely different
presentations to our sales force and our customer service
teams. Both events were lively, dynamic and exciting. We
loved how he combined stage magic with his unique insights
in both of these specialties. We were all very impressed
with his highly creative programs. We loved his passion and
enthusiasm as a business speaker. Still trying to figure out
how he knew where we hid his paycheck. Totally impossible.
More impressive than when Kreskin did that!
