Programme Focused on Finance for Decision-Making

In the current climate, it is becoming increasingly important for companies to assess the financial effects that can result from decisions taken in any of the company's areas and departments. An action that fails to take into account the effects that this has on the company's finances can cause major problems. Any apparently non-financial business decision produces financial results in the short or long term.
