The aim of the Certificate in Finance is to introduce the basic principles of finance and provide a solid grounding across the discipline. The course will incorporate the financial reporting function, which deals with recording transactions and making payments, through management accounting, which derives costs, develops budgets and reports on differences between actual expenditure and budgets to the control and audit of systems and results. Furthermore, the course will consider the 'umbrella' of Governance, under which all organisations must operate and the context of Public Sector finance.
