Diploma in Corporate Finance

The next cohort of the Diploma in Corporate Finance commences from Spring 2022. To book please email us.

In Corporate Finance, what separates success and failure is sharp judgment, the ability to see an opportunity, to minimise risk and make timely and decisive decisions.

At the heart of these skills and competencies is quality information and for this reason, a sound understanding of the analytical tools and techniques which are available is a must for those advising upon or making strategic financial decisions.

Taking this diploma will help you develop technical skills, knowledge and best practice technique in financial analysis, investment appraisal, financing decisions, corporate valuation M&A transactions and maximising shareholder value.

This programme is designed to provide you with these practical tools in a structured, yet challenging way, developing your critical thought processes and analytical skills, skills which will help set you apart from your peers.

This diploma is offered to ICAS Members via distance learning at a special discounted rate and provides the same study materials to those who study in the classroom. For more information, watch the short video below and download the Syllabus and Overview  brochures.

Ricardo Laverty, Finance Director, Grace Cole Ltd:

I found the Diploma in Corporate Finance programme excellent in all aspects, the course and content were extremely well considered and structured, and offered an excellent insight into the world of Corporate Finance for accountants from all backgrounds. The individual lecturers were highly engaging and used real world experience to illustrate all learning areas to excellent effect.

I found this course very stimulating – it didn’t feel like hard work at all! The material provided combined theory and practice well and the assignments were very interesting. I completed it by distanced learning and did not feel disadvantaged at all.
