The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Lucknow has commenced the admission process for its third cohort of the executive programme in strategic finance. The nine-month executive programme in strategic finance programme offered by IIM Lucknow is suitable for mid to senior-level finance professionals who desire to either become CFOs or have recently assumed a similar role. The management institute has developed this programme in association with WileyNXT

Scheduled to commence on April 16, the programme is designed to prepare future-focused CFOs, financial planners, and analysts, capable of helping businesses and organisations drive growth in a fast-changing business environment, says the institute.

Who can apply?

Candidates applying for the executive programme in strategic finance must be graduates from any UGC recognised university with a 50 per cent score. Candidates with at least 5 years of work experience can apply for the course. GMAT score is optional.

Upon successful completion of the strategic finance programme, candidates will receive a certificate from IIM Lucknow.

Talking about the launch of the programme, Dr Ajay K Garg, Professor, Finance & Accounting, Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow said, “The CFO role is essentially strategic and forward looking. The ongoing global pandemic unraveled the impact and value that CFOs generate for organisations while helping chart their holistic growth trajectory. Such a critical function requires professionals adept in leadership and decision-making across a wide spectrum of issues ranging from budgeting to governance to technology adoption and compliance with regulations and laws. Our Strategic Finance program and curriculum is in consonance with our objective of nurturing skilled talent and CFO leaders of the future.”

"Based on the success and response received on our first two cohorts, we are happy to begin our third cohort of the Strategic Finance program. We are hopeful that this program will help learners emerge as action-oriented leaders in the domain of financial planning, analysis, and strategy," Dr Ashish Pandey, Assistant Professor, Finance & Accounting, IIM Lucknow said.
