What is Financial Literacy?
Financial literacy refers to the
  skills and knowledge required
 to make effective and efficient
decisions with financial resources.
Some of these may include:

•   Accounting
•   Asset management
•   Financial Reporting
•   Pricing
•   Financial Analysis
•   Cash flow management
In the business world insufficient financial
   training can slow productivity and prevent
    organisations from operating efficiently.

In fact, many business failures and bankruptcies
    over the past few years can be attributed to
              poor financial decisions.
The Solution
 Financial literacy depends on the proper
           education and training.

It is essential to establish a solid foundation
 based on sound financial understanding and
            core principles of money.
