Very clear and concise and gave relevant and meaningful examples relating to our work and organisation. Good course excellent trainer who grasped the particular nature of our accounting system and adapted her delivery accordingly. I particularly enjoyed the exercise that enabled us to interpret a budget report where we were able to explore the different risk factors that may cause an adverse or savings to our budgets.
