In today’s business world, understanding the finance and accounting knowledge is no longer an option for management and executives. Indeed, organizations will be able to perform better and achieve superior results if all staff in the organizations are able to apply relevant finance and accounting tools in their jobs and functions.

There is a growing trend to work in multi-disciplinary teams where knowledge of the core finance, accounting, and cost concepts is necessary to achieve a common level of understanding and communication in relation to shared objectives and corporate drivers.

Also, those who need to make presentations to boards or committees will benefit from knowing some of the key financial concepts in order that they can present their ideas with a high level of financial authority.

Whether it is a domestic firm or multinational corporation, managing foreign exchange is important. The appreciation or depreciation of foreign currency affects the firm’s profitability and liquidity. Therefore, an appreciation of how international trade, business, economic and political developments could impact the exchange rate movement is critical in business strategic planning and control. Therefore, managers and executives in all functions should understand how to interpret the exchange rate, understand how the foreign exchange market works, and introduce effective tools and techniques in managing foreign currencies.
