ACCG253: Financial Management |
This introductory unit in corporate finance focuses on the financing and investing decisions made by the finance manager of an organisation. While the emphasis is on the theory of the firm, students are also given exposure to current issues affecting corporate finance in Australia. Satisfactory completion of the unit will equip students with a grasp of the following principals of financial economics: the relation between risk and expected return, the time value of money and valuation of securities via discounted cash flows. The unit also provides an introductory coverage of derivative securities and no arbitrage valuation.
The unit provides a standalone introduction to finance for students not planning to continue with study in the area. For students intending to further their study of finance, the unit provides a conceptual basis needed for more advanced units. Analytical, quantative and generic skills are emphasised.
