Reviews

  • This is the best online programme I enjoyed as a financial controller.
    Danushka Viduranga
  • The course is very well presented, user friendly and the way the time is allocated between the larger main topics and smaller 15-minute segments makes the 2 hours pass by very quickly.
    Paul O’Mahony
  • I am enjoying the diversity of the topics – a mix of current developments which are impacting the profession today, along with future developments likely to impact in the coming years.
