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.
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.
This course is ideal for executive and non-executive directors, senior leaders, or any board-level professionals seeking to deepen their financial oversight capabilities. With just one day of focused learning, you'll gain the tools and confidence to engage meaningfully in financial discussions and strengthen your strategic leadership.
