Advanced Corporate Finance

In today’s volatile and capital-constrained environment, financial decisions around funding, investment, and risk have a direct and lasting impact on enterprise value. This intensive 2-day Corporate Finance course equips professionals with the tools to optimize capital structure, minimize WACC, and enhance shareholder value while making disciplined capital allocation decisions. Participants will gain a rigorous, practical command of investment appraisal techniques such as NPV, IRR, and Payback, ensuring that capital is deployed where it delivers the greatest strategic and financial return.

The course goes beyond theory by focusing on hands-on financial modeling and forward-looking analysis. Participants will learn how to build integrated three-statement financial models in Excel that remain robust under stress-testing and adverse market scenarios. Through sensitivity and scenario analysis, they will develop strategic financial forecasts that quantify risk, assess long-term solvency, and test business resilience—skills that are essential for navigating uncertainty and supporting confident, data-driven decision-making.

What truly sets this course apart is its emphasis on translating financial analysis into strategic impact. Participants will learn how to link operational drivers to financial outcomes, implement value-based management frameworks, and design executive-level dashboards and KPIs that resonate with senior management and Boards. By sharpening their ability to communicate complex financial insights clearly and strategically, finance professionals will leave better equipped to influence decisions, strengthen governance, and position finance as a true strategic partner—making this 2-day course simply unmissable for ambitious finance leaders.
