Description

This course is based on my 42 years of experience as a Head of Credit and Chief Risk Officer and chairman of credit committees in top international banks. I have prepared, supervised and approved over 90 different M&A projects and very large number of corporate relationships in different industries around the world. On the basis of what you will find in this course, I have trained in person over 1000 relationship managers, financial analysts, and credit managers who now are senior managers in banks.This course is one of many courses I prepared concentrating on credit to industries, such as contracting, trading, manufacturing, mining, shipping , Agribusiness, etc…and my courses are taken by bank managers, financial credit analysts and entrepreneurs.In the course you will learn:What are the various types of M&ACharacteristics of each type of acquisition, advantages and disadvantagesWhat kind of due diligence is carried out before acquisition and what happens after the acquisition.How to analyze the financial statements of a target company, and the financials of the acquiring company.The development of M&A over the year sand future trends.How to put the pieces together and presenting the proposal to the credit committee to secure a credit approval.I teach through fundamentals and practical case studies as they happen in banks. So, you will have a lot of lectures presented from banks perspective. To every lecture you will find attached as a resource the lesson itself, the summary of that lesson, the discussion raising questions and issues to think over and analyze, in addition to quizzes and answers for those quizzes. It is crucial that you try to understand the question and give the answer before you scroll down to the actual correct answers. In addition you will find additional videos provided just to let you get wider view and understanding of the financial world around you.Why this course?M&A projects are demanding and move quickly, requiring significant effort and dedication. You must also become proficient in financial analysis and ratios, particularly in areas such as liquidity, capitalization and profitability, market research, synergy identification, and pinpointing potential improvements.Because of that this course will enable you understand the concepts, techniques used by analysts, and provide you with the knowledge using real life situations and how banks actually deal with these scenarios. The course will enable you to understand the legal implication of a firm organization seeking to acquire or being a target to be acquired, and use financial analysis and the ratios system to analyze, interpret the financial statements of target companies, and reach a valuation for that target company. The course is condensed with information supported by cool graphics to explain each concept visually.To conclude, I firmly believe that to excel as a top-tier credit manager or as an Analyst, you need a solid grasp of M&A projects and the analysis involved. This is why I strongly recommend this course, particularly for junior credit Managers, Consultants or Business Analysts and owners who haven't attended business school or studied Economics. This course will equip you with the expertise in M&A analysis comparable to that of professionals at top international banks.
