Financial Management
Introduction
Financial expertise enables managers to make successful, dynamic business decisions.

This QCA accredited programme has been developed in partnership with the International Association of Bookkeepers (IAB) and the Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA). It provides a thorough grounding in both business management and business finance to equip graduates with the knowledge and skills to bring financial success to their employers and their own careers.

The programme is designed for those wishing to develop careers in management with the advantage of enhanced understanding of finance and the ability to communicate in a financially specific context.

Financial Management also offers the opportunity for university degree progression in business or finance or accountancy so it is a good choice for those who want to keep their options open.

A further bonus of Financial Management is that, in addition to ABE, students are members of another prestigious professional body; either the IAB or the IFA
  • Certificate Level gives membership to both ABE and the IAB
  • Diploma Level gives membership to both ABE and the IFA
This represents substantial savings on registration fees and students receive publications from both ABE and IAB or IFA, access to online members’ areas, discounts and awards
