Financial analysis is the first step in the process of evaluating a prospective investment in a company: focusing on its capital structure, liquidity, and its potential to grow profitably, producing an attractive return on capital for shareholders whilst generating strong free cash flows.

Corporate valuation is focused on the entity’s ability to compete successfully, and generate earnings growth, and return on capital. In most applications a corporate valuation will be based on the value today of all the future cash flows that business may expected to generate. The course will focus on the key skills and techniques involved in this type of shareholder value model.

This training course will highlight the most up to date theories, principles and practices in corporate valuation; an exercise that will face many finance professionals when evaluating a potential business acquisition, preparing for a public offering of shares, or advising government agencies and private equity clients on potential investments in listed and unlisted joint stock companies.
