Key topics include:
ü Sources of finance - for business start-up as well as growing a business

ü Financial records and how to use them - e.g. balance sheets, profit and loss accounts

ü Setting and monitoring budgets as well as interpreting and analysing accounts

ü Looking at methods of evaluating the viability of the business, e.g. ratio analysis, gearing

ü Understanding the importance of cash flow to the business

ü Using investment appraisal tools to help decide if investment is justified and what outcomes it might deliver (e.g. break-even, annual rate of return, discounted cash flow, net present value)
