Introduction
Managerial Finance is an interdisciplinary approach that borrows from both managerial accounting and corporate finance and concerns itself with the managerial significance of the finance system. It focuses on assessment rather than technique. Managerial Finance, therefore, aims to answer the questions that are central to the operations of today’s industries and their financial management. In so doing, Managerial Finance seeks to address such questions as:
- Why are financial aspects so important?
- What should firms do about new investments, mergers, and dividends?
- Why are share prices important?
- How much should firms borrow?
- Why are cash flows and risk so important?
When financial data is available to further questions can then be considered, such as:
- Are we performing better or worse than our peers?
- If so, what is the source of the problem?
- Do we have the same profit margins?
- If not why?
- Do we have the same expenses?
- Are we paying more for something than our peers?
This training session provides the skills and techniques required for a sound understanding of Managerial Finance.
