This video course covers many useful financial negotiation tips, illustrated by real-life examples that will get you thinking. You will work through mini-cases, to apply principles and increase your financial and business creativity, and help your organization to be financially successful in negotiations. This course is different from and complements tactical/strategic negotiation courses, by being more financial deal-oriented, with lots of specific examples. It is partly about how to persuade, but also about creating different financial options that would be attractive to other parties. Even if you don’t negotiate directly, you can give colleagues strong advice on negotiating. It contains 0.25 verifiable ethics hours.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
