| Content | M&A transactions are complex and significant, impacting financial statements and stakeholders. This course aims to answer two key questions: What cash flows will the combined entity generate, and how do these transactions affect acquirer firms' financial situations? Understanding these aspects is vital for those involved in M&A. The course focuses on consolidated financial statements under IFRS, discusses M&A economics, financial reporting basics, subsidiary incorporation, joint ventures, and assessing financial reporting effects. While a background in Financial Accounting and IFRS is helpful, basic concepts will be reviewed. The course pairs well with "Advanced Accounting" offered in the same semester. |
