Course Description
The decision to invest is a continual challenge, requiring insights into a firm’s strategic direction, bottlenecks, cash flows, and expected risks. The Capital Budgeting course provides clarity by describing the process flow for capital requests. It also covers the primary methods for determining whether a proposed investment is acceptable, as well as a number of strategic and risk-based considerations. Lease or buy financing options are also discussed, along with a system of capital budgeting controls. In short, the course provides the knowledge to assemble and operate a reliable capital budgeting system.
