BUACC5936 Financial Management
This integrative course forms part of the capstone experience in the MPA and as such enables students to identify, examine, and analyse the financial decisions made by financial managers; gain an understanding of the theory of finance and the theoretical models applied in finance; and, develop skill in using techniques which assist in decision making in the financial industry. In fostering these outcomes, the course draws together concepts sourced from finance, economics, management accounting and statistical methods to provide a suite of competencies that will aid students in their transition to a diverse range of professional employment settings. As an industry related and skills-based course, the focus is on helping students develop an understanding of the fiscal and institutional environment in which financial decisions occur. Students will examine and be aware of changes that occur frequently in the marketplace and develop essential quantitative skills that are needed to achieve competitive advantages in the financial decision making process. Students will also learn the processes and applications of making capital budgeting decisions, financing investments and managing funding for day-to-day operations.
