Test the organisation's response to corporate financing and capital structure under conditions that are less than ideal.
Corporate Financing Strategies and Capital Structuring
Move corporate financing and capital structure from general awareness to a repeatable, reviewable practice.
Course Overview
Growth built on poorly controlled corporate financing and capital structure reverses faster than it accumulated. The audit trail behind capital structure matters as much as the decision itself. They acquire practical criteria for judging when the financial and banking practice discipline is working and when it is only appearing to. The most reliable predictor of sound corporate financing and capital structure is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. A common pattern is strong design of this aspect of financial and banking practice paired with weak follow-through. It treats capital structure as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for corporate financing and capital structure. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from capital structure, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Participants leave with a plan for the financial and banking practice discipline sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
