Introduction to Corporate Finance - Online

This module will provide you with a great introduction to the field of Corporate Finance. We'll start off with a discussion of maximizing the welfare of stockholders: every CFO's #1 job. Then we'll talk about the two broad topics that CFO's deal with every day: managing the company's cash flow, and maintaining access to the markets without taking unnecessary risks. We'll finish the lesson by taking a look at the concept of 'the efficient' market, and the implications of efficient markets for a company's financial performance.
