Programme Objectives

Good action oriented management reports are the basis for effective and successful businesses. Survey shows that 6 out of 10 CFOs in Singapore say their finance department devotes 50% or more of its time on grunt work of transaction processing and monthly closing activities, thereby hindering the generation of such action-oriented reports. This unique programme shows you how to improve your productivity in reporting & analytical work by combining the various advanced tools and features of Microsoft Excel to fulfill your monthly financial reporting, financial analysis, budgeting and investment appraisal tasks in an automated fashion. At the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
