Accounting Skills Improvement Course for Middle Level Managers and Supervisors

Often times, officers find themselves performing accounting duties whereas they have not acquired formal training in the profession.  It is a statement of fact that Managers in most Accounts Departments fall into the category of those that have not been formally trained. Until those groups of managers which constitute the engine room of accounting operations are helped to sharpen their skill, the full benefits of even employing professionally qualified Accountants at the top will not be realized.  The workshop which will be a practical one will teach the participants, the preparation, analysis and interpretation of accounts from the rudimentary stages. The workshop will also dwell on basic accounting concepts and principles and their application in the preparation of accounts. It will also be quite refreshing for professional Accountants.
