admission process
Description
The finance department of a company has many functions to fulfil, its main objective being to guarantee the economic survival of the organisation and to motivate its growth.
In order to plan short, medium and long-term objectives, investment strategies must be designed, through budgets, to guarantee the development necessary for the company's survival.
These growth strategies must be accompanied by sufficient funding, either internal or obtained through external financing. In addition, as they affect the rest of the company, numerous aspects must be taken into account in order not to put it at risk.
For this reason, this course is the essential basis for learning to discriminate between viable investments, identify the most profitable alternatives and adapt the financing necessary to the possibilities of the company. In this way, you will be able to protect the income statement, and therefore the balance sheet.

Methodology
ENAE uses an active and participative methodology, ‘Learning by doing’, which alternates the presentation of concepts, techniques and methods of analysis with the development of practical cases that reflect real business situations.
By promoting teamwork, the aim is to achieve the integration of all members and to resolve the cases presented more effectively, through the exchange of different points of view, opinions and experiences. Students will learn from the trainers but also from the professional experiences of their classmates.
