principles and theoretical framework of financial management, leading to sound
corporate financial management decisions. The course deals with financial
markets, interest rates, return and risk in investments, bond and stock
valuation, cost of capital and capital budgeting, with a look at key financial
statements, including the balance sheet, income statements and cash flow

business and the process of looking ahead and anticipating the future. Students
