International Finance – Postgraduate Studies
This is a unique and ambitious program offered jointly by SGH and EY Academy of Business. This program is aimed at professionals who do not necessarily work in finance, but for whom finance is essential to their career.
The skills developed will not be limited to traditional techniques and tools, but will also include more modern and sophisticated skills in areas such as lean accounting, risk management, performance management, business process management etc. These will help candidates develop their personal development in business and provide them with a major role in strategic financial decision-making processes in the organization.
