What People Say About This Workshop
"Understanding financial statements is crucial for making informed decisions in any organisation. I found the content informative and I really enjoyed how the workshop encouraged participant engagement. I would recommend this workshop to those seeking to understand the key components of the financial accounts of an organisation and also those who are key decision makers in an organisation."
Rebecca Fleming, MUFG Investor Services
"Excellent workshop. Well presented, great content and plenty of interaction."
Alan Caffrey, NED Irish Pensions & Finance
"The fear with a workshop like this is that you have to be really strong at maths - and that you'll be tested! That's not the case. At the end of the workshop, you feel far more empowered. Caroline is an exceptional tutor - very engaging and uses lots of current real-life examples to demonstrate the points she is making which makes it really relevant. I have already recommended the workshop to a couple of colleagues."
Abi Moran, CEO, JWT Folk
