Module Aims | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Corporate & Investment Finance deals with the allocation and acquisition of resources among the firms present and potential activities and projects. Our perspective is that of the financial manager who must determine the best method for finding and allocating capital to increase the wealth of the firms shareholders. The objective of this course is, therefore, to equip the corporate manager with the tools and techniques available to create value from the firms financing and investment decisions. Concepts such as corporate objectives, business risk, financial risk and the valuation of financial assets are studied. Major policy areas of the firm covering investment appraisal, optimal capital structure, dividend payout and treasury policy are also examined. Special emphasis is placed on long-term managerial policies and the relevance of corporate finance to the accountant. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
