International Finance

With the rapid globalization of the world economy, the managers of a firm have to understand that their decisions will be greatly influenced by variables such as exchange rate policies, trade policies, and international accounting standards. The objective of the International Finance course is to understand globalisation and the risks involved, and to appreciate the problems of the corporate finance manager and the solutions available to him or her in this increasingly uncertain environment.

This course will focus on three main areas of international finance:
1. key economic theories,
2. the main financial instruments for risk management
3. exchange risk management
