Financial Management for Business Continuity & Operational Resilience Training Course in Abuja, Nigeria
Classroom training in Abuja · next cohort Nov 9, 2026 · from USD 2,800
When a system fails, a supplier collapses or a regional crisis closes a market, the first question leadership asks is how long the organisation can pay its bills. Five days prepare finance professionals to answer it with numbers instead of guesses. You translate disruption into money by estimating downtime cost per hour, revenue at risk, recovery spending and the knock-on effect on covenants, payroll and supplier terms. Business impact analysis sessions link maximum tolerable outage to financial exposure.
You then build a thirteen-week cash forecast, set liquidity buffers, run severe-but-plausible stress tests and compare funding sources such as credit lines, reserves, insurance and contingent financing. Further sessions cover budgeting for continuity and recovery investments, cost-benefit appraisal of resilience measures, crisis financial governance, delegations of authority and post-incident reporting. Delivery is in the classroom, online or in-house. Chief finance officers, finance managers, risk and continuity managers, treasurers, internal auditors and public sector budget officers will benefit. Afterwards you can present a costed continuity case and a stress-tested liquidity plan, and you receive a CPD-accredited certificate.

About this course
Organisations tend to discover the financial weakness of their continuity plans only when a real disruption arrives. Plans describe alternate sites and recovery teams but rarely say what the recovery will cost, who approves emergency spending or how long reserves will last. Boards, lenders and donors are increasingly asking finance leaders to demonstrate that resilience is funded, not just documented.
The Financial Management for Business Continuity & Operational Resilience Training Course gives finance and risk staff a common language. Participants start with the fundamentals of continuity management and operational resilience, including impact analysis and recovery objectives. They then attach financial values to those objectives, looking at lost income, fixed costs that continue during outages, extra expense and contractual penalties. The programme covers cash and liquidity management under stress, scenario analysis, the economics of redundancy and insurance, and how to prioritise resilience investments within limited budgets.
The teaching style is hands-on, with spreadsheet models and short crisis simulations that force decisions on payments, funding drawdowns and communication. By the end, participants will have produced a costed continuity budget, a liquidity stress test and a financial response protocol tailored to their own organisation.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Link business impact analysis findings to financial exposure and recovery priorities.
- Estimate the cost of disruption, including lost revenue, continuing costs and extra recovery expense.
- Prepare short-term cash forecasts and liquidity buffers for crisis conditions.
- Design and run scenario and stress tests on cash, budgets and covenants.
- Evaluate funding options for continuity, including reserves, credit facilities and insurance.
- Appraise resilience investments using cost-benefit and return-on-risk-reduction methods.
- Define financial governance for emergencies, including delegations, approvals and reporting.
