Course Description:

'' The success of the enterprise depends on the effective management of capital invested by shareholders and ensuring a proper corporate governance framework. Recent globalization of capital markets and ease of information flow makes financial management one of the most exciting areas in business. As a result, Time magazine recently stated that the 21st century belongs to finance. Whether one works for a privately owned or a firm that is listed on the stock exchange, the Financial Management concentration offers a wide range of issues that are both intellectually and analytical challenging.

The finance function in an enterprise consists of a blend of accounting and finance and is an interplay between the firm and capital providers. Thus the knowledge required to become a world class finance professional is both broad and deep. Not only does one need an appreciation of managing the day-to-day operations of the firm (working capital), but also required is knowledge of the implications of long term decisions with respect to financing and investment coupled with a very good understanding of the risk and return trade-offs faced by capital providers.

Financial management cuts across strategic, tactical and operational decisions as well as functional areas such as accounting, operations, marketing and logistics. It requires techniques to measure business transactions and decision-making , forecasting, and performance measurement as well as ensuring effective corporate governance. It also requires the understanding of corporate governance issues, expectations of all stakeholders including the most important stakeholder - the shareholder, and other capital market participants that impact on the valuation of the firm.

Accordingly, the Financial Management concentration is designed to provide the concepts, tools and a broader understanding of all aspects of the financial function in any enterprise. Since the finance function is a nexus of all decisions taken within the firm (since it is the finance function that is entrusted with resources), the courses also provide linkages with firm strategy and corporate planning.
