The Executive Education Program at Columbia Business School is offering a Finance and Accounting for the Nonfinancial Executive program. The program will be held September 8, 2014 through September 12, 2014. The program will be held at Columbia University’s campus in New York City.

The program features sessions on the role of accounting, key concepts of managerial and financial accounting, ratio calculation, and analysis of your company and shareholder value management.

Faculty coaches will help to create a Corporate Financial Analysis. The analysis is a hands-on detailed financial analysis of your company. The analysis results in a customized financial profile that summarizes how the specific business is doing.

Faculty coaches help you read this profile on different levels, discuss the importance of each number for your business and be able to tell how your business is doing based on the figures, assessing strengths and areas for improvements.

The goal for attendants at the end of the program is to have mastered key finance and accounting concepts and understand the relationships among profitability, cash flow, liquidity and growth, and identify the red flags in financial statements.

The cost of the program is $9250. This tuition fee includes course materials and some meals. Attendants must make accommodation plans independently. A complete program schedule and applications are available online.
