WHAT IS CORPORATE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT?
Many of the major decisions in a business are driven by financial analysis. These include how much capital needs to be raised and the sources to use, how to allocate it within a business, the optimal amount of leverage and liquidity, how to improve a business’ profitability and return on its capital, how to quantify and hedge financial and business risks, and whether to pursue large projects, contracts, acquisitions, mergers and/or divestitures.
WHY CORPORATE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT?
The object of the Corporate Financial Management Option is to equip students with the analytical tools and skills used in the various types of financial decisions made by businesses. Students can also utilize those same skills in the public sector as well as with employers such as investment banks and consulting firms.
