ACCA Diploma in Financial Management Course

The ACCA Diploma in Financial Management (Dip FM) course aims to achieve a level of practical understanding that is genuinely useful in the workplace. Managers are increasingly responsible for managing their own profit centres and therefore need a similar level of financial understanding to the qualified accountants within the business. The ACCA Diploma in Financial Management develops this with a broad range of topics which enable managers not only to understand financial information, but also link it to broader strategic decisions. 

The ACCA Diploma in Financial Management (Dip FM) course is delivered by a highly qualified and experienced team of professionals.

Pre-requisites

The minimum entry requirement for the ACCA Diploma in Financial Management course is a recognised degree, higher national certificate/diploma or a non-accounting professional qualification.  Individuals who do not hold these qualifications may be admitted on the basis of their work experience.

If you are self-employed, a reference from an accountant, solicitor/attorney or bank manager will be required.
