Our Jock Finlayson and Business Council of British Columbia's Ken Peacock take one more swing in this election campaign:"B.C.’s economy is visibly sputtering. To revive investment and private sector job creation and put the economy on a stronger footing, a recalibration of all CleanBC Roadmap measures is required. On policies affecting the land-base, the government should slow the pace of change and commit to greater openness along with more deliberative decision-making that brings all stakeholders together. Finally, in the post-election context, the B.C. government needs to turn its attention to policy adjustments that reduce business operating costs and help to foster a more hospitable investment climate in the province."In other words, Dave Eby and the NDP must be defeated Saturday. ...

This course, exclusive to the Canadian Construction industry, teaches construction financial professionals the language of construction project management, how the information available relates to each phase of the project, and provides insight into what can go wrong. The success of a construction project results from the contributions and strength of the entire team - including accounting and other admin personnel.

Accountants know their profession but few have ever had the kind of building guidance required in today’s construction climate. This course fills in the experience gaps most accountants lack. In this course, accountants and admin personnel learn many ways project results can be improved through accounting practices, cost controls, and financial reports.
