BUACC3008 Corporate financial management
This unit enables students to develop an understanding of the theory of finance to permit evaluation of the firm's financial decisions. The unit considers the finance function as it relates to corporate objectives and the maximization of shareholder wealth. Particularly the unit aims to identify and analyse the financial decisions made by financial managers and develop skills in the use of techniques which assist in the decision making process. It also considers financial statement analysis and the forecasting of financial needs; capital markets, financial institutions and instruments; security valuation; capital budgeting and risk analysis; the cost of capital; financial and operating leverage and dividend policy. Each topic is introduced by a critical review of key theoretical concepts that are then applied to practical settings.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,663
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
