NACM's Graduate School of
Credit and Financial Management (GSCFM) is underway, with first- and
second-year students diving into intensive courses. Instructors Wanda
Borges, Esq.; Susan Fee, M.Ed. L.P.C.; Charles Mulford, Ph.D., CPA; and
William J. Russell, JD, kicked off the first three days of classes.
During
the demanding, 10-day-long program, students participate in
advanced-level, executive education courses. The credit professionals in
these courses enhance their knowledge of the industry, polishing
skills—directly and indirectly related to credit.
Mulford's Financial Reporting and Analysis
tackles financial statements in the realm of making credit decisions,
crunching numbers and digesting the challenges within data. Borges,
taking on the legal side, approaches commercial litigation and
creditor's rights in bankruptcies. And, between the complexities of
financial analysis, instructors Fee and Russell teach just outside of
the realm of credit, educating students on public speaking and
negotiating, respectively.
"I've learned a lot. Charles is smart,
and he's been able to break down these complex topics beautifully," said
Nicole Leier, CICP, lead credit and collections analyst for Twitter and
first-year student at GSCFM. "Just three days in, and I know I've
already taken away so many new and helpful skills."
