The Mergers and Acquisitions, Corporate Governance and Islamic Finance program has been developed by The Open University Business School.
The first part of the program will acquaint you with the topic of mergers and acquisition. This includes quantitative finance and its practical applications to project appraisal, company valuation, methods and risk management.
The second part introduces corporate governance, ethics and disclosure of information in both national and international contexts, which are the heart of responsible financial management in our era.
The final part explores the emerging field of Islamic finance tracing its origins, scope and implications for financial decisions in a global economy.
