“The Advanced Production Accounting training course was excellent and I would recommend it to both new and experienced Production Accountants or Financial Controllers. The course covered all aspects of these roles, from managing and structuring teams, choosing accounting systems through to full cost reporting, filling knowledge gaps and offering practical advice and tips on approaching more complex tasks”
