Executive Programme in Business Finance (Batch 8)

The programme is designed for mid-level and senior executives who have had very little exposure to the Finance function, but who are likely to assume P&L responsibility in the near future. It is also for those managers who think that their role requires significant commercial acumen for effective performance and have not been formally trained in the basics of finance and accounting. The programme will cover various topics in the field of Financial Accounting, Managerial Accounting, Management Control Systems, Financial Markets and Corporate Finance taking a top-down perspective. The programme also has a strategic management module to provide a broader perspective on the business context and commercial negotiations to build commercial skills.

The programme introduces the mid-level senior executives to the technicalities of the finance functions at length. The course shall impart a conceptual and practical understanding of accounting, managerial accounting, management control systems, financial markets and corporate finance. The content has been structured to acquaint participants with an integrated view of financial function and intends to make the participants capable of making effective business decisions based on accounting information and financial analysis.

The teaching approach will be highly interactive using the technological capabilities of the channel. The pedagogy followed for the programme will consist of a blend of lectures, case studies, online lectures, projects, peer-to- peer learning, self-learning, role-play and simulations. Mentoring by faculty and access to learning resources of IIMA will also be made available. There will be two campus modules held at IIMA.
