One of the biggest lessons coming out of the crisis is the importance of sound financial management. Managing the bottom line is absolutely essential in these times, and something that you as a manager should defi nitely add to your unique skill set. As your career develops and more and more people report to you, being fi nance savvy is no longer a nice to have, but a critical requirement.

Furthermore, fi nancial analysis is one of the key ways to measure performance and perhaps the most important KPI for any initiative, project or department. As it all comes down to the bottom line you have to ask yourself, how thorough is your knowledge of fi nance and your ability to translate fi nancial information into strategic and operational decisions?
