HRDC/HRDF Claimable Finance Training Malaysia

Managers are asked to own budgets, read reports and justify spending, often without a finance background. ClimbX Academy delivers practical finance training for Malaysian teams: reading financial statements, telling profit from cash, and building models that other people can check and trust.

Common finance problems we address

Profit and cash get confused

Non-finance managers are asked to own budgets and justify spending, yet profit and cash are treated as the same thing.

Margin and mark-up get mixed up

The two sound alike but are not the same number, so figures are misread in meetings.

Decisions made on revenue

Decisions get made on revenue instead of on what is left after costs.

Models only one person understands

Workbooks grow tangled, with hard-coded numbers, inconsistent formulas and one person who understands them.

What the training covers

Reading the three financial statements

Linking daily decisions to the numbers

Talking with the finance team in its own language

Telling profit from cash, and margin from mark-up

Building models that keep inputs separate from calculations

Adding scenarios, sensitivities and error checks to a model

How we design the programme

Step 1

Start with your team's numbers

We start with the reports they read, the budgets they own and the models they build.

Step 2

Work with a fictional company

Groups work with a fictional company's statements to find why a profitable business can be short of cash.

Step 3

Take part in a model autopsy

Participants find, fix and rank planted faults in a workbook. The training can be delivered at your workplace or online.

Who it is for

Managers who own budgets

Managers and professionals who work with finance without a finance background.

Model builders

People who build spreadsheet models.

Model inheritors

People who inherit spreadsheet models and need to trust them.

Frequently asked questions

Is this finance training HRDC/HRDF claimable?

Yes. ClimbX Academy is an HRDC/HRDF registered training provider, and the training can be claimed under HRDC/HRDF. See how to claim HRDC/HRDF for a training course.

What does a finance training program for our team include?

It is built from the courses above, chosen to match your team. For example, managers might take Financial Literacy for Non-Finance Professionals, while people who build models take Financial Modelling. Each course can run on its own or be combined into one programme.

How long is in-house finance training?

There is no fixed length. We set the length and schedule around your team’s goals, size and availability, then send you a custom quote.

How early do we need to apply for the HRDC/HRDF grant?

At least two weeks before the training date. Under the current rules, in-house training can begin only 14 days after the grant is approved, so plan the calendar early. The HRD Corp claimable courses page explains the scheme.

Do participants need a finance background?

No. Financial Literacy for Non-Finance Professionals is designed for people outside finance. Financial Modelling covers how to build structured, transparent models, and both can be tailored to your team.

Can the training use our own reports and models?

Yes. Exercises start from the reports your team reads, the budgets they own and the models they build.
