Quick Navigation

Overview

Corporate Finance, 3e offers a dynamic, modern and practical approach that illustrates how financial management really works. It features up-to-date content including a focus on ethics in finance, following the Australian Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry. This resource is distinguished by the cash-flow ‘arc’ of the narrative, which gives a practical learning path, and the use of real options - a practical analysis tool that is used in corporate finance. Students are provided with an engaging and contemporary learning path, giving them realistic preparation for a career in finance. The strong five-part framework of the book is supported by integrated online elements and easy-to-read chapter narratives.

Premium online teaching and learning tools are available on the MindTap platform.
