Business & Finance for Lawyers
Last Updated Date: 20 March 2024
5 Units, Semester 2
Course Description:
To provide law students who intend to read commercial law electives with a foundation in accounting, finance and other related business concepts.
Students will learn how to interpret and analyse financial statements, the different types of financial instruments offered by financial markets, and the basic workings of the investment market. The course will employ a simulation model in which students are to advise on the acquisition and disposal of assets by a hypothetical client. The key issues covered in the hypothetical scenario will include asset valuation models, financing options and techniques, and compliance with accounting and regulatory frameworks.
In addition, students will have a chance to apply these concepts through a service-learning project, create a start-up business or act as a portfolio equity analyst/fund manager.
