As demands on the further education sector continue to rise, the need for Finance Directors and Chief Finance Officers (CFOs) to step forward has never been so important.
The ETF has co-developed a Department for Education funded programme with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales (ICAEW) which is now on to cohort 8. The programme has run for many years with numerous delegates successfully completing to date.
This programme, delivered by the ICAEW, is designed to support Finance Directors and CFOs to become more effective strategic business partners within their organisations and to work better with their CEO or Principal to drive strategy forward.
