Program Overview

This program is to give professionals like you an “edge up” by helping you master the meaning behind the financial statements and terminology you’ve been wrestling with.

Acquisition of these skills would enable these individuals to be better equipped to appreciate the Company’s Financials, help make better decisions, build a competitive advantage and overall enabling them to contribute positively to the organization’s goal.

Financial statement analysis helps to provide the necessary information required to evaluate a Business plan and long-term plans for business activity, and identify projects or companies for investment.

Do you and your team have lots of business and project ideas but know not which one to choose? Do you and your team want to choose the best value-adding business or project idea?

Business plan can start only after a proposed business idea has been proved feasible. If feasible, we can proceed with a high level of confidence that the business plan will result in profitable opportunity. It will provide a “roadmap” that shows how a business may be created and developed.

The feasibility study helps the organization to understand if the ideas or projects being considered for investment are worth investing time, money, energy, and effort. A well- developed feasibility study lays the foundation for project analysis and design activities in a focused manner.

Examining the options and the challenges which might arise in advance helps the organizations understand whether the project being considered will be successful or not.
