Business Administration II
30.0 ECTS creditsThe course comprises five 6-credit modules: Financial Accounting II, Investment and Financing, Leadership and organisation. Marketing II, and Management Control.
Module 1 Financial Accounting II
The module is a continuation of Financial Accounting I and starts with a section on how to draw up an annual financial report for a limited company applying due diligence, including the general advice of the Accounting Standards Board. This section is a specialisation of Financial Accounting I in Business Administration I. The annual financial report for corporate groups applying the purchase method is also treated. Students are expected to learn how to draw up and interpret the financial cash flow analysis report and apply common financial ratios used in analysing business operations. The module concludes with a section on statutory audit.
Module 2 Investment and Financing
This module has a focus on the long-term consequences of investments and financing decisions. In assessing investments, different financiers' demands on the company as investment objects are treated, as are the company's criteria of profitability. Key factors to consider in such analysis are the time value of money, risk, expected yield and the expected cash flow of the investment. Investments in long-term projects entail a future capital need, which requires using calculation methods. Central aspects in financial assessment are the advantages and disadvantages of different forms of financing and the impact of capital structure on the company's financing decision.
