This course focuses on the significance of banks in an economy, their purpose and their management. It considers banks in relation to other financial institutions and financial markets, domestically and internationally. The course includes discussion on banks’ off balance sheet activities, asset securitisation and the use of derivatives for risk management. It also considers the financial development of economies from a barter system to the current complex international system based on money, and analyses the cause and solution to the current global financial crisis.
This course is aimed at managers from disciplines other than finance who wish to understand financial management principles and concepts and how they are put to use in businesses of all sizes. The course will explain the basics of finance, provide good understanding of the basic financial statements and then look at the applications of sales, pricing, costing, interest and borrowings, taxation, investment, performance measurements, risk mitigation and hedge fund operations. Emphasis is placed on getting students to use the skills learnt in class in their work.
This course provides a practical and comprehensive introduction to the management of the financing activities of a modern international company.
