Corporate Financial Analysis – An Integrated Approach

About

The course aims to give an overview of all the essential corporate financial principles, skills, and challenges that financial decision-makers would face in case of large investment projects. Besides the necessary methodological background, the course will take a rather practical approach in the form of an extensive, real-world-based case study. Participants will thus become familiar with the various tasks they have to solve and the interdependencies they have to be careful about, in order to make sound financial decisions.
