ACCA – Advanced Financial Management (AFM)
The Advanced Financial Management optional exam
London Governance & Compliance Academy
Summary
Overview
The Advanced Financial Management subject is designed to replicate the role of a senior financial executive or advisor and prepares candidates to advise management and/or clients on complex strategic financial management issues facing an organisation.
The syllabus starts by exploring the role and responsibility of a senior executive or advisor in meeting competing needs of stakeholders within the business environment of multinationals. The syllabus then examines investment and financing decisions, with the emphasis moving towards the strategic consequences of making such decisions in a domestic, as well as international, context. You are then expected to develop further advisory skills in planning strategic acquisitions and mergers and corporate re-organisations.
The next part of the syllabus examines, in the broadest sense, the existence of risks in business and the sophisticated strategies which are employed in order to manage such risks.
