Global Live Online(GLO) Class For Advanced Financial Management (AFM)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Advanced Financial Management exam is designed to replicate the role of a senior financial executive or advisor, and prepares candidates to advise management and/or clients on complex strategic financial management issues facing an organisation.

How to approach the Advanced Financial Management (AFM) exam

This is an advanced level exam which builds upon the knowledge and skills examined in Financial Management.

• You will be required to demonstrate your ability to:
• Read and digest quickly, comprehensive and detailed questions
• Apply relevant knowledge and skills

time is crucial to performing well under examination conditions.
