Description
This course module offers a concise overview of the foundations of finance, with an emphasis on their relevance to a broad range of real-world contexts, including personal finance, business decision-making, and financial intermediation. You’ll develop a solid understanding of corporate finance, from accounting concepts and financial analysis, how competitive markets produce demand, the choices companies make when making financial decisions, and risk attitudes.
The Specialization comes to a close with a Capstone assignment that helps you to put what you’ve learned in class to use. You will create an integrated system for value-based financial management and individual financial decision-making, as well as learn to analyze big strategic business and acquisition decisions and consider capital markets and institutions from a financial viewpoint. Corporate Finance Essentials can help you appreciate crucial financial problems affecting businesses, consumers, and the economy as a whole. At the completion of this course, you should be able to understand the majority of what you read in the financial press and use basic financial terminology used by businesses and finance practitioners.
You’ll also learn how to identify and control credit risk, as well as how to handle financial difficulties. The mechanisms of dividends and equity repurchases will be discussed, as well as how to pick the right way to return capital to owners. You’ll also discover how to use derivatives and liquidity control to mitigate particular types of financial risk, such as currency risk. This Course is an attempt to avoid the above extremes. We discuss the core basis and mechanisms of modern corporate finance in a learner-friendly way. We will analyze the market’s most fundamental problems, realize the intrinsic interests and preferences of investors, reveal the true meaning of specific financial terms, and uncover important issues that are so often ignored in choosing and valuing investment projects.
