The programme has a strong focus on core professional content: International Financial Reporting Standards big picture links to statutory reporting, taxation, transfer pricing, company law and allocation of capital in multinational groups. We emphasize linking these issues to earning logic, strategy, financial ratios and valuation models and Integrated Reporting and CSR/sustainability considerations.
We consider how to organise and structure financial accounting/Shared Services and Centralisation (SSC) operations for efficiency, resilience, agility and the links and interfaces to other processes and functions. How do we measure and manage efficiency and quality in financial processes? What can we do with analytics and robotics?
