SAIPA allows training offices the opportunity to provide simulated exposure to competencies.
This course is designed to enhance the delegates understanding of key performance indicators as well as non-financial performance indicators as a useful part of financial statement analysis and interpretation by management and potential investors.
The following competencies will be assessed:
FAC 2A: Drafting a management report on the analysis of the financial statement
The required skills for this module will be practiced through simulated case studies and group discussions. Each competency will be evaluated through a combination of online assessments as well as an integrated post course evaluation.
The post course evaluation is a practical exercise reflecting real work scenarios - providing delegates the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to perform the task at hand.
This course consists of three parts:
On scheduled course date:
