This book covers the theory and practice of Corporate Finance from a truly European perspective. It shows how to use financial theory to solve practical problems and is written for students of corporate finance and financial analysis and practising corporate financiers. Corporate Finance: Theory and Practice, 3rd Edition is split into four sections covering the basics of financial analysis; the basic theories behind valuing a firm; the major types of financial securities (equity, debt & options) and, finally, financial management; how to organise a company’s equity capital, buying and selling companies, M&A, bankruptcy and cash flow management.
Key features include:
- A section on financial analysis – a Corporate Financier must understand a company based on a detailed analysis of its accounts. Large numbers neglected this approach during the last stock market bubble and were caught in the crash that inevitably followed. How many investors took the trouble to read Enron’s annual report? Those who did found that it spoke volumes!
