 What is Business Edge?

 One of MLA’s Edge Network courses, developed originally for northern grazing businesses, it has been adapted for delivery in southern Australia.

 It’s a two-day program aimed at improving financial and business management skills and the topics include:

  •  How to interpret management accounts and tying together the balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement

  • Managing risk

  • Rationally allocating working capital

When it was last delivered in East Gippsland in 2016, the course was fully subscribed. Numbers are capped to maximise the benefits to each participant.

Hundreds of producers from around Australia have participated in this course and the feedback is very positive with participants having improved confidence and skills to better understand the financial side of the business and make necessary changes.
