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 will examine how firms can create value through sound investment decisions and financial strategies.
You will explore the tools for assessing financial performance and the economic condition of an organisation, with emphasis on financial reports of real-world organisations. You will be introduced to the key concepts of managerial accounting and explore how to identify relevant costs for short and long-term decision making.
