Clear and consistent accounting policies are essential for producing reliable financial information, supporting internal controls, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. Without well-structured procedures, organisations face operational inefficiencies, reporting inconsistencies, and audit challenges.

The Accounting Policies and Procedures course provides a comprehensive foundation for designing, documenting, and implementing accounting manuals that support accuracy, transparency, and accountability across the finance function. Over five practical days, participants will explore how to structure accounting departments, set up reporting systems, manage assets and payables, and establish procedures for inventory, receivables, payroll, and financial reporting.

By the end of the programme, you will be equipped to create policies and procedures that streamline financial operations, strengthen controls, and improve overall financial management.

You’ll learn how to:

Develop and structure an accounting manual
Apply core accounting principles in daily operations
Establish asset, payables, inventory, and receivables procedures
Align accounting practices with reporting and audit requirements
Prepare reliable financial statements based on internal policies
Enhance financial governance and operational consistency
