Corporate governance defines how organisations are directed and controlled. This programme explores corporate governance principles and frameworks, including the UK Corporate Governance Code and the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
With directors playing a key role in company oversight, ensuring decisions serve the best interests of shareholders and other stakeholders, participants will examine board structure and directors' responsibilities, including the separation of CEO and Chairman roles.
Explore the importance of audit, remuneration, and nomination committees, board induction, and performance assessment, while addressing critical challenges such as the agency problem and its resolution. Through practical tools and case studies, participants will strengthen their ability to enhance board effectiveness and apply governance principles in real-world contexts.
This course delves into the principles of corporate finance, equipping participants with the tools to navigate financial decision-making, ensuring effective capital allocation and strategic planning.
The programme covers the three fundamental financial decisions—investment, financing, and dividend policy—expanding into risk and return analysis, including diversification, historical market returns, and the risk premium. It also examines free cash flow forecasting, capital structure optimisation and its cost (WACC), working capital management, and risk mitigation strategies.
Through real-world case studies and practical applications, participants will develop the skills to support strategic investment decisions, using NPV analysis to assess whether a project creates value for the company and its shareholders.
Mastering business valuation is essential for professionals involved in investment decisions, mergers and acquisitions, and project finance. This course provides participants with the framework to assess a company’s or project’s value with confidence.
The programme explores core valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis, relative valuation using market multiples, and precedent transaction analysis. Emphasis is placed on net present value (NPV), alongside alternative techniques such as internal rate of return (IRR) and the payback period. It also covers key components that influence valuation outcomes, including working capital and terminal value assumptions.
Through case studies and practical applications, participants will refine their ability to perform sound business valuations and make informed financial decisions that support long-term value creation.
