Finance and Accounting
Accounting, the financial information system of an organization,
serves to summarize many of the organization’s plans and the results
of its operations. Many human resources management decisions are
important inputs into those plans and results. It is therefore necessary
for human resources managers to understand the measurement bases
and reporting methodology used in accounting. In addition, they require
an understanding of basic accounting principles and techniques,
because the management of the human resources function itself has an
accounting dimension.

Finance – Leadership Development
Leaders in any organization need to understand the cost of doing
business. Financial documents are used to explain how money is
used in a business and can be interpreted to predict an organization’s
success. The ethical and effective use of financial statements and
ratio calculations for forecasting and budget preparation can ensure
investments or withdrawals within an organization will produce a healthy
return or mitigate decline in other areas. Knowing the processes for
assessing ROI, creating a budget and anticipating variances are critical
in any organization in order to make effective decisions.
