Live Online Financial Management Skills for Office Administrators and Secretaries Training
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 9, 2026 · from USD 1,700
Administrators and secretaries often handle petty cash, supplier invoices, travel advances and departmental budgets, yet few receive any formal grounding in finance. The week introduces basic accounting concepts and the language finance colleagues use, then moves into preparing and monitoring an office budget. You will practise managing petty cash under an imprest system, processing invoices and payment requests, raising purchase orders and reconciling statements. Sessions cover reading simple financial reports, tracking expenditure against budget and using Excel templates to record and analyse spending.
Internal controls receive particular attention, including segregation of duties, authorisation limits, documentation standards and recognising signs of fraud or misuse of funds. Exercises use realistic office scenarios, from a petty cash count that does not balance to a budget overrun that must be explained to management. Office administrators, secretaries, personal assistants, clerks and front-office staff with financial duties will benefit. Afterwards you can keep accurate, audit-ready records, prepare clear expenditure reports and handle office funds with confidence and accountability.
