Durante o curso são abordados vários conceitos fundamentais para o processo de tomada de decisão. Um dos pontos interessantes deste curso é a forma simples como são abordados conceitos complexos. Adicionalmente considero também importante a aplicação de exemplos práticos para ilustrar os conceitos abordados. Recomendo este curso para todos os profissionais das áreas de controlo de gestão, análise financeira e gestão de performance.

Overall a great course with relevant use of material. Suggestion for improvement-the balance scorecard. Knowing how that might be used in organizations would be helpful. Also, a few more case studies in the videos would be good. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to further their knowledge in decision making based accounting.
