Selected chapters of corporate finance and risk management

Abstract

This book was prepared for the Finance Master program of the Corvinus University of Budapest started in the academic year 2019/2020. The book consists of two main parts, the first part deals with corporate finance and financing issues, while the second part covers risk management and liquidity management in financial markets. The cases in this book highly build on the knowledge base of the master’s program curriculum, therefore, it is imperative for students to familiarize themselves with the basic notions first, before starting to solve the exercises. If you experience any knowledge gaps, then refer to the regular textbooks before solving the cases. In several cases, the related regulations should also be read in conjunction with the case in order to be able to understand and solve the exercises. This highlights the ever increasing relevance of regulation in the finance industry. Apart from the knowledge of the financial notions, and related regulations, students should also be skilled in using spreadsheets, since several cases cannot be solved without it. We recommend the book both to master’s students in Finance and to practitioners as well.
