Financial expertise enables
managers to make successful, dynamic business decisions.
This QCA accredited programme has been developed in partnership with
the International Association of Bookkeepers (IAB) and the Institute
of Financial Accountants (IFA). It provides a thorough grounding in
both business management and business finance to equip graduates
with the knowledge and skills to bring financial success to their
employers and their own careers.
The programme is designed for those wishing to develop careers in
management with the advantage of enhanced understanding of finance
and the ability to communicate in a financially specific context.
Financial Management also offers the opportunity for university
degree progression in business or finance or accountancy so it is a
good choice for those who want to keep their options open.
A further bonus of Financial Management is that, in addition to ABE,
students are members of another prestigious professional body;
either the IAB or the IFA
- Certificate Level gives membership to both ABE and the IAB
- Diploma Level gives membership to both ABE and the IFA
This represents substantial savings on registration fees and
students receive publications from both ABE and IAB or IFA, access
to online members’ areas, discounts and awards
