Identify and analyse the financial information of an organisation

One of the challenges in any business is to make investment decisions that provide yield rates in excess of the cost of financing those investments. This program examines how firms can create value through sound investment decisions and financial strategies.

You will have the chance to explore the tools for assessing an organisation’s financial performance and economic condition, with emphasis on financial reports of real-world organisations. You will also have the opportunity to learn key managerial accounting concepts and how to identify relevant costs for short and long-term decision making.
