Singapore CA - Business Value, Governance and Risk (by Irwin Luo)
In this course, students are given an insight into the role of investment, governance, internal control, and risk management on business value creation and business sustainability.
...Upon completion of the Business Value, Governance and Risk module, candidates will be able to demonstrate a sound understanding of the basis upon which corporate value is created, maintained sustainably (e.g. sound investment decisions), and protected (e.g. by avoidance of excessive concentration of power and lack of scrutiny of management). Candidates will be able to assess how governance arrangements may prevent long-term dysfunctional behaviour. The module addresses risk management as a key factor in governance and strategy. It develops skills from previous studies in asset valuation in the context of wider considerations of capital investment appraisal, including strategic investment decisions, taking into account underlying financial risk management concepts for effective and responsible decision making.
