Corporate Finance and Management
A five-day programme on corporate financial decision-making, covering financial analysis and value creation, capital budgeting and investment appraisal, cost of capital and capital structure, dividend policy, working capital and risk management, and corporate valuation and financial planning.
Introduction
Corporate Finance and Management Training Course builds the financial decision-making capability that managers, analysts, and finance professionals need to create and protect corporate value. Corporate finance answers three connected questions. Where does the firm invest its capital? How does it fund those investments? How does it return value to shareholders? Weak decisions there destroy value quietly through poor investment appraisal, expensive funding, and unmanaged risk. This course develops the analytical discipline that prevents those outcomes. It covers financial analysis, capital budgeting, and cost of capital. Furthermore, it applies financing decisions, capital structure, and dividend policy. In addition, it develops working capital, risk management, and valuation. As a result, participants make corporate financial decisions with confidence.
