Financial Governance Mastery Workshop

WORKSHOP CONTENT

A one-day intensive workshop for board members and senior executives to strengthen financial oversight. Gain practical tools to interpret financial statements, assess risk, connect strategy to financial performance, and support sound board-level decisions.

Today’s board members must do more than approve budgets — they must confidently interpret financial data, assess risk, and align financial performance with strategic goals. Mayfield’s Financial Governance Mastery is a one-day intensive course designed to give directors and senior executives the financial insight they need to lead with assurance. Grounded in practical application and real-world examples, this course empowers participants to master the financial side of governance.

Content includes:

• Understand the distinct roles of Financial Accounting, Management Accounting, and Financial Management — and where the Board fits in.

• Learn to read and interpret key financial statements (Balance Sheet, Income Statement, and Cash Flow Statement) — and spot what they don’t tell you.

• Apply ratio analysis, assess financial health using top-down techniques, and understand how to connect book value with business reality.

• Grasp the essentials of working capital, cash conversion cycles, and solvency testing to ensure business sustainability.

• Link financial oversight with strategic execution through effective budgeting, forecasting, and an introduction to capital investment decisions.

• Discover how boards should evaluate major financial decisions using WACC, time value of money principles, and valuation methodologies.

• Navigate core oversight responsibilities including audit engagement, risk assessment, financial due diligence, and policy evaluation.
