You'll use the knowledge acquired in the first two programs and apply them to investment appraisal and business cases, such as valuing shares. The main topics covered are company valuation and project evaluation techniques. This includes net present value, profitability index, internal rate of return, and payback method.
You’ll gain an understanding of the fundamentals of financial analysis and corporate finance theory, analyse financial statements and assess alternative methods for valuing companies, prepare financial projections of projects, and carry out sensitivity analysis.
