This highly immersive 5-day programme transforms finance from an abstract concept into a practical management tool. Designed specifically for managers without formal financial training, Corporate Finance  uses an interactive board-based business simulation where participants work in competing teams as the Board of Directors of a growing manufacturing and distribution company. Using physical counters to represent cash, shareholder funds, debt, assets, costs, revenues, tax, and retained earnings, every decision is mapped visibly in real time — with no spreadsheets, hidden calculations, or “black box” answers.

Across five progressive days, participants explore core trading decisions, cost control, pricing, working capital management, strategy, investment appraisal, and value creation. By physically building Profit & Loss statements, Balance Sheets, and cash flow models step-by-step, delegates develop a clear understanding of how business decisions affect financial performance, enabling them to confidently interpret the numbers discussed by senior leadership and CFOs.

In many organisations, managers are expected to control budgets, justify investments, and deliver financial performance without fully understanding how financial results are generated. This course bridges that critical knowledge gap by connecting everyday operational decisions to measurable financial outcomes.

Through hands-on simulation, participants gain clarity on how profit differs from cash, how working capital affects liquidity, and how strategy influences value creation. The programme develops the financial awareness needed for effective board-level decision-making, stronger budget management, and more confident engagement with senior leadership. By understanding the financial drivers behind organisational success, professionals become better equipped to manage risk, create sustainable growth, and contribute directly to shareholder value.
