Basic Business Finance

January 1, 2025 - December 31, 2026

Description


*ON-DEMAND TRAINING*

The Basic Business Finance online training course will offer the fundamentals of corporate finance.  This course is a two-module program consisting of Basics of Business Finance and Shareholder Value Creation.

In a world of global capital markets where capital can be moved from one country or organization to another with just the click of a mouse, the focus today is on keeping shareholder value rising. This means that firms allocate their capital to projects that earn the long-term highest returns. To ensure that stock prices rise, investors, mutual fund, and pension plan managers regularly meet with management to confirm that their strategic plans are consistent with long term growth in shareholder values.

After completing this course, you should understand the basics of corporate finance in easy-to-understand terms and appreciate more fully how your work activities can and do affect the financial health of your organization.
