Financial Management

Course overview
Companies do not work in a vacuum, isolated from everything else. It interacts and transacts with the other entities present in the economic environment. These entities include Government, Suppliers, Lenders, Banks, Customers, Shareholders, etc. who deal with the organization in several ways. Most of these dealings result in either money
flowing in or flowing out from the company. This flow of money (or funds) has to be managed so as to result in maximum gains to the company.
Managing this flow of funds efficiently is the purview of finance. So we can define finance as the study of the methods which help us plan, raise and use funds in an efficient manner to achieve corporate objectives.
The successful financial manager of tomorrow will need to supplement the traditional metrics of performance with new methods that encourage a greater role for uncertainty and multiple assumptions. These new methods will seek to value the flexibility inherent in initiatives – that is, the way in which taking one step offers you the option to stop or continue down one or more paths. This Diploma Course in Financial Management will not only equip students how to be prudent financial managers but also on how to deal with tomorrow’s challenges in the field of Financial Management
