Program Introduction

Combining intuition and analysis, we explore the central pillars of corporate finance. Our expert faculty will guide you through how to use valuation techniques and concepts so you can build your understanding of critical decisions that ultimately determine the value of the firm and its value to its stakeholders.

Gain insights into the way businesses and projects are valued and the associated concept of cost of capital. We will show you how to determine if a potential project creates value and to estimate the value of companies and financial securities.

While this course does not have pre-requisites, our team designed it for experienced business professionals. You will need the ability to use Excel for mathematical purposes. You do not need to have a finance or advanced mathematics background.
