Information about the Diploma in Financial Management

Many non-accountants are daunted by the thought of managing budgets, making financial decisions or simply understanding the language of finance.

The ACCA Diploma in Financial Management provides the practical knowledge you need to take the fear out of accounting and ensure confident participation in financial discussions.

This new qualification is aimed at middle and senior managers with financial responsibility. The programme can be completed in one year however, provided the ACCA subscription is paid each year, registered students may take as long as they need to study the material, sit the examinations and submit their projects. Additionally, provided the appropriate fees are paid, there is no limit to the number of times a candidate may attempt the examination or project element of the Diploma.

Based on ACCA’s highly successful Certified Diploma in Accounting and Finance, which has been completed by nearly 10,000 managers worldwide, the Diploma has an established reputation. Many of these managers have taken advantage of the qualification’s postgraduate status to gain advanced standing towards MBAs and other masters qualifications.

The Diploma covers a range of key areas, including how to interpret financial statements, plan, manage and measure performance using budgets and other financial techniques, make financial decisions and manage all kinds of financial risk.

The ACCA Diploma in Financial Management is a highly effective way to overcome your fear of finance.
