Program Professional Framework
Finance for Engineers, Project & Technical Professionals
Program Overview
Engineers and technical leads are expected to justify investments, control project budgets and speak the language of the CFO. «Finance for Engineers, Project & Technical Professionals» gives them that language: reading financial statements, understanding how capex and opex hit profit and cash, time value of money, NPV, IRR and payback, life-cycle costing, lease-versus-buy and make-versus-buy decisions, project cost tracking and building a business case that finance committees accept. Cases come from energy, utilities, construction and manufacturing environments common in the GCC.
