The course will be conducted by DSI Samson Group General Manager – Strategy and Corporate Planning Mahesh Amarasiri FCMA, CGMA.

Finance affects every business decision and plays a pivotal role in organisations, be they private or public. It is imperative for managers in this day and age to be equipped with financial skills to deal with a volatile business environment. However, if someone is not in a finance role, the task of understanding financial implications and how they affect your bottom line may be challenging. An understanding of finance and its impact on the bottom line of organisations will provide that ‘edge’ and enable better performance.
