This is directly relevant for those responsible for both the operational and financial dimensions of inventory within their organisations.
The Cash Conversion Cycle is covered in depth, addressing its definition, the difference between the operating cycle and the cash cycle, the main challenges organisations face in managing it, and the key steps for making it more effective. Delegates also learn specific techniques for accelerating CCC cash conversion speed across purchasing, production, sales, and inventory management. This is directly applicable for finance and operations professionals whose organisations need to improve working capital efficiency and reduce the time between cash outflow and cash inflow.
Six Sigma is covered with real case studies that show how the methodology has been applied to improve process quality and reduce costs in operational and accounting contexts. The PDCA problem-solving method is addressed as a structured approach to continuous improvement that complements both Six Sigma and broader management accounting practice. Together these tools give delegates a practical framework for identifying inefficiencies, implementing improvements, and sustaining performance gains across finance and supply chain functions.
The course covers the key elements of effective KPI design alongside global financial KPIs including Return on Equity and Return on Invested Capital, and then specifically addresses KPIs linked to supply chain management and SCM capability analysis. Delegates gain a working understanding of how financial and operational KPIs interact and how supply chain performance metrics connect to the broader corporate value management framework. This gives delegates the tools to design and use KPIs that reflect the true drivers of value rather than measuring activity in isolation.
The Balanced Scorecard is covered as part of the advanced management accounting tools content, using real case studies to illustrate how organisations have implemented it to align financial and non-financial performance measurement with strategic objectives. Delegates gain a practical understanding of how the Balanced Scorecard connects financial KPIs, customer, process, and learning dimensions into a coherent management framework. This is directly applicable for those involved in performance reporting, strategy execution, or management control system design.
ESG is addressed through the lens of management accounting and supply chain strategy, covering the ESG framework, Strategic Development Goals, integrated reporting, risk management, and the specific environmental challenges that affect supply chain operations. Real case studies are used to ground the ESG content in practical business contexts. This gives delegates a working understanding of how ESG considerations are becoming embedded in management accounting frameworks and supply chain governance rather than remaining a separate sustainability function.
