CAS Finance & Accounting Proficiency

Rochester-Bern Executive Programs, University of Bern

A sound knowledge of finance and accounting is essential for successful executives. Everything you do in business has some effect on “the numbers”, and even if financial issues may not be the primary goal of your position, you should be able to understand the main financial statements of your company, draw the necessary conclusions, use financial arguments to get the resources for your next project, and lead your team accordingly.

The CAS Finance & Accounting Proficiency gives you a solid understanding of financial topics and allows you to apply it in your own business environment right away. As part of a class with participants from various industries, you will also expand your professional network and benefit from peer learning.
