modern finance- and asset-management

In our globalised economy modern financial management is characterised by international orientation and integral concepts. Operative financial management is target-orientated and situation-related planning, control and monitoring of any in-firm flow of payments on a long-term and short-term basis.
Among the multiplicity of modern cash management the asset management will be focussed in this seminar. Particularly in times of non-payment of credits, downgrading in rating, public debts and turbulences on the market it is important to control chances and risks of the company’s separate assets effectively.

Essential areas of today’s financial management will be presented and explained. Understanding international capital markets is vital for successful executives in order to cope with current and future challenges.

Beside management of financial assets the liabilities side of the balance sheet, the so-called Asset Liability Management (ALM), will be illuminated considering the aspect of demonstration, optimisation and development of new instruments of refinancing. Additionally, the functionality of the most important financial markets as well as tasks and significance of financial intermediaries will be conveyed.

Starting from the term and the scope of globalisation of financial markets, the seminar will pick out different forms of capital procurement, the afore-mentioned capital structure policy (ALM, EK, FK) as well as the cash and currency management as central themes.
