Chartered Management Institute
This course is based on the Postgraduate Diploma in Strategic Leadership and Management (Level 7), which is accredited by the CMI towards gaining the Chartered Manager status.
Sharpen your command of financial theory, performance measurement and strategic financial analysis. This course equips senior finance professionals with the advanced tools to evaluate organisational performance, support high-stakes investment decisions and drive long-term financial value.

Senior finance professionals are expected to do more than report the numbers. They are expected to interpret them, challenge them and connect them to the organisation's strategic direction. This course builds that capability, combining rigorous financial theory with structured approaches to performance measurement and strategic analysis.
Participants will critically evaluate the financial theories underpinning corporate decision-making, apply performance measurement systems including the Balanced Scorecard, and develop structured approaches to business valuation and stakeholder analysis. The course places particular emphasis on applying these tools to solve real strategic business problems rather than studying them in the abstract.
This course is aligned with the CMI recognised Level 7 Postgraduate Diploma in Accounting and Finance. Participants who complete this certificate and wish to progress to the full diploma may do so through LIBT's structured pathway, with this course counting towards the relevant module requirements.
