FINC 404 — International Finance and Banking
Finance · University of Ghana
This course is a logical extension of the principles of the foundation in Corporate Finance or Financial Management. It builds on and extends the framework and basic principles provided by domestic corporate finance to account for those dimensions that are unique to decisions in a competitively dynamic global context. Coverage will extend to the use of financial analysis and reasoning in solving international financial management problems and in decision-making. The traditional areas of Working Capital Management, Capital Budgeting, Cost of Capital, and Financial Structure will be covered from the perspective of a Multinational or Transnational Enterprise. The focus will be on those decision variables that are rarely encountered by purely domestic enterprises. Specific topics include: Introduction to Multinational Financial Management, International Financial Markets, International Flow of Funds and Balance of Payment, Forecasting Exchange Rates, Measuring Exposure to Exchange Rate Fluctuations, Managing Transaction Exposure, Short-term asset and liability management and Financing International Trade, Long-Term Asset and Liability Management, International Banking, and Country Risk Analysis.
