Why attending this seminar is a must?

This training provides the participants with a holistic (systemic) view of business management methods and their economic interrelationships. They recognize the importance of controlling and the interdependencies of the individual systems of strategic, operational, and financial controlling, which are among the program’s main focuses.

The participants develop business competence so that they can recognize and interpret the economic and financial effects of their decisions at an early stage and, above all, use their influence on the company’s financial goals as a whole.
The training concisely conveys a uniform controlling culture, and increases the participants’ business economic sensitivity and finesse for figures, and, last but not least, promotes motivation to apply them.
