Course description
Every single decision that a corporate executive makes – be it an acquisition, a divestment, a restructuring, a capital spending initiative, a rationalisation – is a decision based upon the value implied by the decision and the cost or price of its implementation.
This unique course seeks to address the implementation of valuation in all of these various contexts, and to reconcile theoretical and practical approaches.
18 CPD hours awarded by ZISHI, a recognised CISI Premier Training Partner.
