Information
about the Diploma in Financial Management
Many
non-accountants are daunted by the thought of
managing budgets, making financial decisions
or simply understanding the language of finance.
The
ACCA Diploma in Financial Management provides
the practical knowledge you need to take the
fear out of accounting and ensure confident
participation in financial discussions.
This
new qualification is aimed at middle and senior
managers with financial responsibility. The
programme can be completed in one year however,
provided the ACCA subscription is paid each
year, registered students may take as long as
they need to study the material, sit the examinations
and submit their projects. Additionally, provided
the appropriate fees are paid, there is no limit
to the number of times a candidate may attempt
the examination or project element of the Diploma.
Based
on ACCA’s highly successful Certified Diploma
in Accounting and Finance, which has been completed
by nearly 10,000 managers worldwide, the Diploma
has an established reputation. Many of these
managers have taken advantage of the qualification’s
postgraduate status to gain advanced standing
towards MBAs and other masters qualifications.
The
Diploma covers a range of key areas, including
how to interpret financial statements, plan,
manage and measure performance using budgets
and other financial techniques, make financial
decisions and manage all kinds of financial
risk.
The
ACCA Diploma in Financial Management is a highly
effective way to overcome your fear of finance.
