    Managing Information: Core Management covers the areas of Finance, Information Systems and Statistics and is specifically designed to cover the CIPD syllabus. These fields of study often cause considerable fear amongst students, however they must attain a working knowledge of Finance, Information Systems and Statistics as these subjects are essential in every organisation. Managers and supervisors are faced with a barrage of data from a variety of sources that affect the way they operate. All HR practitioners need to have a good grasp of information and its sources. They need to know how accounts are put together, how statistics are collected and analysed, and how projects are costed. Basic principles of the concepts and applications of information systems, including designing systems and processing data are required.
