Focus

Finance & Banking, Management Competencies

Become a more strategic leader and expand your cross-functional influence, with a deeper understanding of finance. Led by Darden's top-rated experts in accounting and finance, this program focuses on building fundamental financial skills to:

  • Navigate financial challenges with your accounting and financial team, in partnership rather than dependence.
  • Translate financial reports and cost analyses into meaningful feedback for your team.
  • Connect silos to align organizational goals.

This program emphasizes the application and understanding of financial information, not its preparation; no prior finance or accounting knowledge is necessary.
