Dubai, UAE; 08 April 2014:  A better level of financial  literacy is often vital for individuals and employees to enhance their personal or corporate success. Becoming a financial expert, or improving employees' financial knowledge, is essential to be on par with international standards, and is a necessity in the lead-up to the UAE hosting Expo 2020, states Binod Shankar, Managing Director and Trainer, Genesis Institute.

"As we approach 2020 and Dubai hosting the World Expo, there are many possibilities for financially-savvy individuals to take advantage of," said  Binod. "Whether for personal or business purposes, there has never been a better time to get a grip of Finance.  Financial knowledge gives individuals the ability to understand financial statements, investments and what is going on in the World. The last is imperative as we live in challenging times.  

Binod continued to say that gaining financial acumen is also key to deliver a successful Expo 2020. "Companies should invest in training to update their employees' understanding. Global businesses will require business to be conducted to international standards, which  is provided by (for example) the Claritas Investment Certificate .t."

Those interested in boosting their financial knowledge are invited to join  Genesis at a free 60 minutes Finance Manager workshop (Genesis Interact), to be held at 10.45am on April 14 at Al Dana Ballroom, Dubai Marina Yacht Club.
