Business Diagnostics Online
These established, high-level online courses will enable experienced CAs
to assist clients and their organizations with business diagnostics and to
realize financing opportunities in a complex and ever changing economic
environment.
Completion of a Business Diagnostic Online course will enable a CA to:
- craft a comprehensive “size up” of an existing business operation,
pinpointing external opportunities and threats, internal strengths and
weaknesses
- understand “diagnostic checks” required to ensure a satisfactory degree
of corporate health and staying power
- build stronger and more trusting relationships by assisting their clients
with effective applications for financing
Business Diagnostics Online courses guide attendees through funding
alternatives, external and internal business environment reviews, strategic
direction, and risk from the perspective of a commercial banker. A detailed,
real-life scenario illustrates many aspects of the content being covered
throughout each course.
In the 7-module Comprehensive and the 1-module FastTrack courses,
attendees are shown how to structure a request for funding and are
introduced to the Enterprise Review Summary (ERS), a 5-6 page tactical
document. The ERS is completed by a CA in conjunction with the client
and presented to the bank along with the client’s financial statements. In
addition to review questions, an optional 20-question final test is provided
at the end of the course that, upon passing, generates a certificate. (The
extra 5-module Reference Series provides greater depth to the topics
covered in FastTrack. An additional 30-question final test is also provided.)
These online courses are based on the seminar Getting the Bank to Say
Yes and the business publication Business Diagnostics, 2nd Edition 2007,
written by Richard Mimick and Michael Thompson.
Business Diagnostics Online - Comprehensive lasts between 6 to 7
hours, and the fast-paced Business Diagnostics Online - FastTrack lasts
between 60 to 90 minutes; the optional test at the end of each course will
take attendees an additional 10 to 15 minutes. (The Reference Series
add-on to the FastTrack course provides up to 5 hours of additional online
training, if required; an optional test takes attendees a further 5 minutes.)
