01 / 06
Financial reporting
This learning component explores the practical connection between income statements, balance sheets, and cash flows. Participants would examine how the concepts interact in realistic organizational situations, where decisions must account for limited resources, competing priorities, and measurable outcomes.
Balance sheets
Compare alternative approaches, document assumptions, and consider how balance sheets affects different stakeholders.
Cash flows
Translate the topic into an applied task: develop a concise analysis, explain your recommendation, and identify how success could be evaluated.
In practice: Illustrative workshop: a team receives a business scenario involving income statements, then prepares a recommendation that considers balance sheets and presents an action plan addressing cash flows. The exercise can be assessed through the quality of evidence, feasibility of the recommendation, and clarity of communication.

Learning outcomes and assessment approach
By working through the six areas above, learners should be able to explain relevant concepts, analyze realistic cases, compare management alternatives, and communicate evidence-based recommendations. A suitable assessment mix could include case analyses, reflective reports, presentations, and a final applied project. Exact assessment weights, teaching hours, prerequisites, and any award remain subject to confirmation.
Suggested final project: select a workplace challenge connected to finance & accounting; define its context and stakeholders; evaluate evidence and feasible options; propose a practical response; and describe indicators for reviewing the results.
