Overview   

A recent study found that between 70% and 80% of small businesses fail within their first five years. 

The reason? 

A big contributor to this failure rate is poor internal monitoring mechanisms that leads to poor planning and goal setting. The answer to this shortcoming is having proper management accounting techniques in place.  

Management accounting techniques assist the owners and managers of SMMEs to make good business decisions as well as monitor the health of their businesses.  

In this webinar Caryn Maitland CA(SA) will explain useful internal reporting techniques that assist businesses to manage their working capital risks and solve liquidity and solvency issues.
