Financial Decision Making syllabus summary
Module outline and aims
The Chartered Secretary has the responsibility of helping to ensure that decisions are properly made and implemented, and that appropriate risk management systems are in place, to maximise value for key stakeholders of the organisation. An understanding of how value is created or destroyed is therefore central to the governance of organisations in all sectors.
Although not always required to perform detailed treasury or finance functions, Chartered Secretaries need to have a clear understanding of how the process of creating and safeguarding value is managed in the organisation to assess the implications for shareholders and other stakeholders, and the need for effective corporate governance. They are involved in the implementation of this process through activities such as processing board memoranda relating to investment or financing proposals, raising capital and other funding, managing profits or surpluses, and ensuring both compliance with regulations and good financial administration.
The module aims to provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to evaluate the impact of financial decisions on different constituencies of stakeholder. It will also enable you to participate in decision making and processes concerning the maximisation of value in investment, finance and risk management, and the delivery of value for money in achieving the objectives of not-for-profit organisations.
