Evaluation and performance measurement

This three hour webinar will look at how management accounting techniques can be used to evaluate strategies and options, and to measure and manage performance. Understanding evaluation and performance management as an accountant will equip you to be a more effective and efficient finance partner.

We will look at methods for evaluating strategic choices, and a wide range of financial analysis techniques for use when evaluating competing business or investment options. We will think about how to transition from compliance and regulatory functions to taking a more proactive advisory role with your business and/or clients. We will also look at how best to implement and benefit from Critical Success Factors (CSFs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and how to holistically evaluate an organisation’s performance.
