Mergers & Acquisitions

The volume of global M&A deals is down in 2008 as the credit market turmoil has stifled deal making activity. Emerging market and commodity activity remain buoyant and strategic deals are still being struck in key industry sectors. While merger and acquisition activity certainly ebbs and flows, strong conceptual and technical skills are required in any market. Now is the time to enhance those skills with our highly interactive and practical M&A Suite, covering concepts and theories, structuring, accounting and free cash flow.

Highlighted Course

Taken as a suite, this five-day program provides students with the concepts and theories of mergers and acquisitions as well as the structuring of a deal through hands-on examination of the key components of a transaction. In addition, the Free Cash Flow module covers cash flow drivers, cost of capital, capital budgeting, and acquisition analysis using free cash flow - all important issues in merger and acquisition activity. The final day covers accounting topics specific to business combinations often excluded in general financial accounting courses. Learn more!
