Corporate Financial Strategy - AFCP861
A company's financial strategy requires simultaneous decisions about capital structure, dividend and capital management, cash levels and financial risk profile. All of these decisions must be made in the context of the company's operating performance and growth strategies. Taking the CFO perspective, this unit will give students the opportunity to analyse and develop a company's preferred financial strategy. This unit should appeal to those involved in developing financial strategy for corporations, and investment and corporate bankers who might advise CFO's on financial strategy. In addition to those topics mentioned earlier the unit will also address questions of managing external stakeholders, particularly investor relations, and issues of risk allocation between various stakeholders and the role of complex structures. This unit will include a review of relevant empirical literature and will include several case studies. Although the unit will take a strategic perspective on these issues, students will be able to develop financial modelling skills to support the necessary analysis, including modelling of risk scenarios.
