Course overview
Office administrators and secretaries play a critical role in supporting the financial operations of an organization. Although not always directly involved in accounting or finance decision-making, having a strong foundational understanding of financial principles enables them to perform their roles more effectively. This course is designed to equip office support staff with practical financial knowledge, enabling them to interpret basic financial information, manage budgets, support procurement processes, and ensure proper documentation and financial recordkeeping.
The training bridges the knowledge gap and empowers office personnel to communicate effectively with finance teams, prepare expense reports, manage petty cash, and understand financial terminology used in business operations.

IN HOUSE AND ONLINE TRAINING
While both In-House and Online training can present with cost-effectiveness and time-efficacy, there are some very specific differences between in-house courses and those based online.
The demand for additional courses by individuals or groups of people is increasing. Still, it depends entirely on the preferences of a person what type of training he or she wants to receive. Online courses and in-house training carry some similarities but they are considered to exhibit some very pivotal differences too. Despite that, both types of learning can be really beneficial for attendees.
