Course Summary
Developing a successful and profitable business requires a wide array of financial understanding to create a cost-effective roadmap for future developments, forecasting, and change. Risk management goes hand in hand with financial planning, as a foolproof framework will allow you to make sound, strategic decisions to move forward while maintaining your profit margins.
Many factors can affect business profits, including technology, staffing, contingency processes, health and safety procedures, and new policies. It’s essential that project planners or business owners fully understand the implications of progression and changes within the business and their short-term and longer-term effects on the company finances.
Creating a risk assessment and effective SWOT analysis will allow you to prioritise changes and mitigate risks in the financial structure based on their potential outcomes. Because the demands on businesses from their customers, clients, and stakeholders are increasing yearly, it’s important to focus more on the potential end results of each change to determine an accurate cost-benefit analysis and maintain your obligations and corporate governance.
