Common questions about our training courses
The relationship between inventory and financial statements is addressed in depth, covering how inventory decisions affect reported profit, cash position, and balance sheet values. Inventory-driven costs, fixed and variable cost structures, and break-even analysis are all examined through the lens of financial impact. The distinction between profit as an accounting opinion and cash as an operational fact is a foundational theme of the course that shapes how delegates approach inventory and cost management decisions going forward.
Accounting fraud risks are addressed within the corporate value management content, covering how management accounting frameworks and KPI monitoring can be used to identify anomalies and patterns that may indicate fraudulent activity. Delegates gain an understanding of where the most common fraud risks arise within management accounting and reporting processes and how robust management accounting controls reduce exposure. This is directly relevant for those with financial oversight or governance responsibilities within their organisations.
The Balanced Scorecard is covered as part of the advanced management methods content, addressing how it connects financial KPIs with operational, customer, and learning performance dimensions within a coherent strategic management framework. Delegates gain a practical understanding of how the Balanced Scorecard is used to translate corporate value objectives into the day-to-day management decisions that drive performance across the organisation. This is directly applicable for those involved in strategy execution, performance reporting, or management control system design.
The course covers Return on Equity and Return on Invested Capital as the primary corporate value management KPIs, alongside KPIs used by leading Japanese companies and KPIs specifically linked to supply chain performance. SCM capability analysis and the Supply Chain Top 25 framework are also addressed. Delegates gain a working understanding of how financial and operational KPIs interact and how supply chain performance connects to the broader drivers of corporate value — rather than treating financial and operational measurement as separate disciplines.
The Cash Conversion Cycle is covered across two dedicated stages — a foundational level addressing the operation cycle, cash cycle, and basic CCC mechanics, and an advanced level covering management methods for improving CCC performance. CCC comparisons across Japan, the United States, and global industry benchmarks are examined to give delegates a realistic view of where their organisation sits relative to sector peers. Industry-specific CCC trends and the key issues different types of companies face in accelerating their cash conversion speed are addressed throughout.
ESG and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are addressed in the context of their practical implications for management accounting, operations, and corporate governance. Environmental issues, accounts receivable and inventory management, and the interaction between the operation cycle and planning cycle are examined alongside a risk management summary that connects ESG considerations to the broader financial and operational risk frameworks covered throughout the course. This gives delegates a working understanding of how ESG and SDG commitments translate into management accounting decisions rather than remaining a separate sustainability function.
