We need, welcome and support accountants in their roles. But what if we could identify ways for them to better understand Project Management? And, even further, how could we emphasize that accountants and PM’s are integral parts of each other’s performances?
Accountants know their profession but few have ever had the kind of construction experience required in today’s project climate. Accountants Guide to Project Management fills-in the experience gaps most accountants lack.

Additional Details
Accountants will be led through project management just like PM’s were led through Finance & Accounting systems and reports
A mirror-image of the Finance and Accounting for Non-Financial Managers’ course, accountants will learn the roles and responsibilities of PM’s – how, why and when they do what they do. Knowing this, they can support the PM through accounting practices, cost controls and financial reports. But, to do that effectively, accountants must understand the PM role.
Learning Outcomes:
- Forecasting costs at completion
- Two main causes and solutions to poor productivity
- Skilled labour shortage with emphasis on recruiting and retention
- Benefits of gross profit factors to control overhead expenses
- Why and how bonding and insurance reduce risks
- Project evaluations and close-outs
Attendance is encouraged for those accountants and admin personnel who wish to learn the challenges of the construction processes. Not only will the construction projects’ performance improve when accountants and PM’s work more closely together, each participant will most assuredly gain a much better understanding of construction. A win-win situation for all involved!
This course is delivered in partnership between your local construction association and other associations throughout Western Canada. You’ll be participating in a cohort with industry peers from across these regions.
