If you're a middle or senior manager working in a non-accounting role, chances are you will have some kind of financial responsibility – whether it's managing budgets, cost centres or interpreting financial statements.

So why not differentiate yourself from most middle or senior managers in non-accounting roles and gain the practical knowledge and skills you need to become comfortable and confident when dealing with financial matters?

ACCA's Diploma in Financial Management will provide you with the confidence you will need to participate in financial discussions and decision making and add value to your CV.

Develop a practical understanding of finance

Unlike many financial awareness courses, the Diploma aims to achieve a level of practical understanding that is genuinely useful in the workplace. Managers are increasingly responsible for managing their own profit centres and therefore need a similar level of financial understanding to the qualified accountants within the business. The ACCA Diploma develops this with a broad range of topics which enable managers not only to understand financial information but also link it to broader strategic decisions.

In your time

There is no time limit to completing the Diploma and it's possible to complete the course after just one year's study. This is a small commitment to gain a working understanding of finance and the ability to work confidently with financial information.

At your convenience

You can fit your studies around your family, social and/or work commitments because you can study for the Diploma any place, any time. There is a flexible home study programme, or you can study full time, part time or evenings through a number of recognised colleges worldwide, either as a top-up to the home study programme or as a complete course of study.
