Business Diagnostics - Fast Track
Early Warning Signals – Business Diagnostics for Growth

This high-level online course will enable experienced CAs to assist clients and their organizations with business diagnostics and in obtaining financing opportunities in a complex and ever changing economic environment.

On completion of this course, CAs will be able to

• craft a comprehensive ‘size up’ of an existing business operation, pinpointing external opportunities and threats, internal strengths and weaknesses
• understand ‘diagnostic checks’ required to ensure a satisfactory degree of corporate health and staying power
• build stronger and more trusting relationships by assisting their clients with effective applications for financing

Business Diagnostics Online - FastTrack guides attendees through: Funding Alternatives, External and Internal Business Environment reviews, Strategic Direction, and Risk from the perspective of a commercial banker. A detailed, real-life scenario illustrates many aspects of the content being covered throughout the course.

In this fast-paced course, attendees are shown how to structure a request for funding and are introduced to the Enterprise Review Summary (ERS), a 5-6 page tactical document. The ERS is completed by a CA in conjunction with the client and presented to the bank along with the client’s financial statements.

In addition to review questions, an optional 20-question final test is provided at the end of the course that, upon passing, generates a certificate. (The optional 5-module Reference Series provides greater depth to the topics covered in FastTrack. An additional 30-question final test is also provided.)

This online course is based on the seminar Getting the Bank to Say Yes and the business publication Business Diagnostics, 2nd Edition 2007, written by Richard Mimick and Michael Thompson.

Business Diagnostics Online - FastTrack lasts between 60 to 90 minutes; the optional test will take attendees an additional 10 to 15 minutes. (The Reference Series provides up to 5 hours of additional online training; the optional test will take attendees a further 20 to 30 minutes.)

Business Diagnostics Online - FastTrack is optimized to run on a PC with Windows 98 or higher equipped
with Internet Explorer 5.5 or later and connected to the internet.
