Syllabus
  • Courses under this program:
    Course 1: Building stakeholder value

    Sustainable businesses need to earn consistent and predictable profits. Find out what terms like ‘internal rate of return’, ‘discounted cash flow’ and DCF analysis actually mean in practice and how you can use them to the advantage of the business.



    Course 2: Financial accounting and capital markets

    An organisation’s sustainable cash flows and its accounting profits (or losses) are both supremely important, but they can be very different. Explore the differences between debt and share capital, fact and judgement in financial reporting and financial markets, and understand and apply terms such as capitalisation, depreciation, amortisation and revaluation.
