Part 1- Introduction to finance-management
Finance and management are essential to assess the feasibility (financing need, cost analysis to be expected) and the viability of an activity / product development project (profitability over time) but also to measure and analyze the performance of existing business activities.
Keywords: cost - income statement - financing plan - cash flow - return on investment - break-even point
Part 2 - Continuous improvement by controlling costs (measurement and analysis)
Increasing costs degrade the performance of my business; it then becomes necessary to know the cost structure of its activities in order to understand the evolution of costs and to limit the negative impacts of certain practices or events.
Cost management also requires calculating forecast costs based on the expected volume of activity; these by comparison with the real costs constitute an alert system in the event of deviations, giving rise to short-term or medium-term corrective actions.
Keywords: management control - cost analysis - DMAC continuous improvement - cost behavior
Part 3 - Profitability and risks of investments
Before any investment decision, the financial needs of a project must be studied in order to measure the profitability and the risks in financial terms, taking into account, where applicable, the profitability requirement by the shareholders. This study must also anticipate cash imbalances.
keywords: flow - discount - TIR - VAN - payback - profitability - risk - financing plan
