Overview

This 1-day program addresses two of the least understood, yet most critical, departmental functions in every firm: accounting and finance. By the end of the program you will have a fundamental understanding of what they do, how they come to decisions, what is critical to each and the terminology they use. This will allow you to be able to work more easily and more effectively with them in the future. This course is a bridge to ISM's Finance for the Supply Management Professional (3-day program).

For this seminar, please bring a laptop computer with a CD drive.
