Course Syllabus
Abstract
This course will provide an introduction and overview of the Finance discipline. The course is designed as a foundational course in finance on which subsequent, more specialised finance courses are based. This course is divided into two parts. The second part introduces corporate finance, which is concerned with how businesses make financial decision. It compares different banking systems and discusses the standard tools of risk management for financial institutions, the regulation of the banking system, and the role and rationale of financial intermediation in the economy. Part I serves as a prerequisite.
