Mergers and Acquisitions: A Strategic Valuation Approach
Duration: 3 Days (10 am to 5 pm with one hour lunch break)
Cost: $ 1999 + GST
Course Outline
To merge or not to merge
An organization can't make that crucial decision without incisive analysis by
financial planners and corporate managers. To determine how a potential merger
or acquisition will impact company value, you must examine numerous factors well
beyond the usual tax, legal, cash flow, and cash outlay considerations.
In short, you have to think like a strategist. And that's what this outstanding course prepares you to do.
This practical, hands-on course reflects today's business environment, where strategic combinations have replaced the hostile "do-it-our-way" takeovers of the past. It walks you through each step of the modern merger process, from evaluating candidates to handling post-merger integration issues.
Early on, you get financial statements and data for two hypothetical companies, a potential acquirer and a potential target. The course then examines these companies at every stage of a typical consolidation. You also see how new technologies and Internet tools can help you better assess acquisition value for your own deals.
Learn how to:
- Understand the corporate motives behind mergers
- Use technology to gather information on potential candidates
- Screen targets using ratio analysis and strategic analysis
- Value candidates far more accurately
- Assess the overall impact of a merger on company performance
- Forecast expected future cash flows
- Determine the appropriate discount rate
- Choose the right mix of securities to transact the deal
- Follow through during the acquisition
- Plan for post-merger integration
