The dynamic and constantly evolving business environment has made it clear that social, technological, and governmental disruptions can significantly impact organisations. As a result, it is more important than ever for companies to possess a strong understanding of finance to effectively participate in financial decision-making and discussions, providing value across the organisation. The Oxford Executive Finance Programme equips teams with practical knowledge and skills to understand organisational finances and the intricacies of financial decision-making. In this six-week programme, participants will delve into corporate finance, capital structure, taxation, and bankruptcy, while analysing the trade-offs of funding by evaluating debt versus equity and its impact on investment project valuation. By examining current industry debates and reviewing critical expert insights, leaders will explore key topics transforming finance practices in today's fast-paced world, including corporate governance and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. Upon completion of the programme, your organisation will be able to leverage finance as part of its executive toolkit to make more informed and strategic decisions, ultimately enhancing overall business performance.
This online programme is designed to equip non-financial business leaders, senior executives, managers, and business professionals with the financial proficiency necessary to participate effectively in key discussions and strategic decision-making at the executive level. The programme is ideal for businesses who have executives ready to move into strategic decision-making roles, as it helps to develop an understanding of corporate finance and the financial implications of decision-making. Leaders will learn how to better manage resources and use and interpret financial information to drive business growth. The programme is accessible to all, as there are no prerequisites and no extensive finance experience or knowledge is required. Upon successful completion, participants will earn a certificate of attendance from Saïd Business School, University of Oxford.
