This is for senior management staff and board of directors of listed companies, public entities or private companies seeking listing in the near future. This programme provides solutions to all senior management and board members who see a limitation in discharging their responsibilities due to lack of financial and reporting knowledge and expertise. Nowadays, financial and reporting functions have become strategic, rather than operational, areas. They have become the critical success factors of many business firms (and critical ‘failure’ factors as well in many cases). Therefore, knowledge and fundamental skills in finance and reporting are now essential for all senior management and board members in order to deal with and make decisions on financial and reporting matters in business firms at corporate level. |
| 5. Accounting and Finance for Non-Financial Managers | Two-day programme. This is for non-financial managers and executives; and entrepreneurs from all industries who need to deal with accounting and finance decisions in business. In today’s business environment, accounting and finance functions are more than just dealing with recording transactions and financing. Accounting and finance have become strategic functions and the critical success factors of many businesses. Therefore, knowledge and essential skills in accounting and finance no longer belong to finance managers and CFOs only. Non-financial key personnel who have little or no knowledge in accounting and finance should be trained in essential financial techniques to enable them to make use of financial information more effectively in their day-to-day business activities. |
| 6. Performing Quantitative Financial Analysis | Two-day programme. This is for executives from all industries who aim to develop knowledge and understanding in relation to the theoretical and empirical analysis of financial variables.

First, the mathematical skills required to understand the behaviour of asset prices and returns. Second, the ability to test theories and interpret empirical results.

Organisational and Human Resource Development |
|
| 11. Mentoring for Employee Development | Two-day programme. This is for managers with the responsibility of developing talent to be part of the organisation’s succession planning, high-potential employees with cross-functional representation of the entire organisation, and high performance staff which the organisation intends to keep. Mentoring is a powerful personal development and empowerment tool. It is an effective way of helping people to progress in their careers and is becoming increasing popular as its potential is realised. |
| 12. Performance Management for Organisational Success | Two-day programme. This is for middle managers, senior executives and human resource executives both from public and private organisations. The primary focus of this training is to provide participants with a broad overview of the performance management process and its effectiveness in ensuring organisational success. Performance management is a tool aimed at organising a team towards the achievement of their business objectives. It is an ongoing process of monitoring results of work activities, evaluating performance to determine achievement of goals and using performance information to make decisions, allocate resources and communicate whether or not objectives are met. A properly designed and implemented performance management programme can have a solid, positive impact on individual and corporate success. |
| 13. Powering Growth through Talent Management | Two-day programme. This is for middle managers, senior executives and human resource executives both from public and private organisations. Human Resource Managers are in search for an effective and strategic tool that can be aligned to organizational and business strategies to attract and retain talents. An effective tool should be defined to meet expectations of both the employer and the different employee segments in any economic environment. Organisations that communicate their employees engagement and development tools will be more successful that those who do not. |
| 14. Leadership and Change Management towards Organisational Success | Two-day programme. This is for senior executives with leadership positions, and identified as part of the company's succession plan with significant responsibility for strategic decision-making including (but not limited to): members of the executive committee, heads of business units, senior functional heads and senior executives of government agencies or non-profit organisations. This module aims to equip senior executives with relevant leadership skills, strategies, tools, and techniques to promote the use and implementation of innovative work practices to effect change and manage changes. |
| 15. Training Needs Analysis | Two-day programme. This is for middle managers, senior executives and human resource executives both from public and private organisations. Training and development activities are pivotal for the effective performance management of employees. The primary purpose of conducting training is to assist people to be more effective in their jobs. However, many times it fails to address the specific needs of an organisation, department or staff. The implementation of training and development activities should be based on the critical needs of an organisation. Therefore, Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is an important step in assessing the current and future requirements of an organisation. It should identify the KSAO (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, Other Characteristics) deficits, determine who requires training and development programmes, as well as the type of training programmes required. |
