M&A Finance Expert

Course Type: Online

The opportunities and risks of corporate buying and selling often coexist closely. Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) and Carve-outs are some of the biggest challenges that companies face. Depending on the size and structure of the transaction, an organization’s financial function is severely tested during the process.

To successfully manage an M&A process in all its forms, a range of skills and strengths must interlock. Starting from a high level of information and knowledge asymmetry between potential buyer and seller, opportunities and risks must be progressively uncovered, and any “poker” games and emotional challenges must be mastered.

In this course, you will learn over four engaging mornings how to keep a cool head in M&A processes and objectively guide or support complex, interdisciplinary, and emotionally charged M&A processes to success with the right methods and tools used in every M&A process.
