On August 21st, the Boulder County Business Report published a spotlight on our Finance and Accounting for the Non-financial Executive course, better known as FANE.
Some of the highlights:
"The most popular open enrollment course at the University of Colorado's Leeds School of Business is an intensive three-day seminar, Finance and Accounting for the Non-Financial Executive, or FANE. The program is designed for business professionals who want a better understanding not only how financial data is generated but also to employ that data in their decision-making."
"FANE teaches participants the basics, such as how to read a financial statement or evaluate a company's financial performance, which in turns gives graduates the ability to more actively participate in crucial financial decisions. Far from a traditional lecture program, the class includes opportunities for participants to debate real-world challenges they face back at the office.
"I liked the approach these professors took," said Mike Oldham, chief executive of Lakewood-based OmniBus Systems Inc., who took the course in April. "The instructors dissected public financial statements from real companies, and we applied tactics to business problems any of us might face. It was much more useful than dusting off a finance book."
