Finance (LDS)

Leaders in any organization need to understand the cost of doing business.  Financial documents are used to explain how money is used in a business and can be interpreted to predict an organization`s success.  The ethical and effective use of financial statements and ratio calculations for forecasting and budget preparation can ensure investments or withdrawals within an organization will produce a healthy return or mitigate decline in other areas.  Knowing the processes for assessing ROI, creating a budget and anticipating variances are critical in any organization in order to make effective decisions.
