Often, non-finance executives have an aversion or even fear of finance and accounting. This stems mainly from lack of familiarity. Years of interaction with non-finance executives has convinced me that if the basics of finance and accounting are explained in a simple and lucid manner, negative feelings turn positive appreciation. This programme seeks to achieve this transformation.
