Your comprehensive guide to the latest Business Analysis and Valuation Tools by Professor Dalko from Harvard University

Knowing the right skills and tools to effectively analyze and value a line of business, a division, a part of a corporation or the entire company is important for business leaders, government officers and professionals across all industries, spanning from manufacturing to engineering, biotechnology, banking, telecommunications and venture capitals. A successful restructuring or M&A outcome cannot be achieved without accurate valuation of one's own business, the target's firm and the valuation of synergies. In addition, business analysis and valuation is the key to assessing opportunities for alliances, spin-offs, divestitures, joint ventures, and any other form of restructuring.

This 2+1 day Masterclass covers all the four key components of effective and comprehensive business valuation: strategy, accounting, financial and prospective analysis. The valuation techniques that will be examined and applied include traditional discounted cash flow and multiples analysis as well as newly developed techniques that outperform traditional valuation techniques. Masterclass participants who attend the third day of the program will learn to use and take home cutting edge valuation software prepared by Harvard Business School faculty.

The course series is designed for senior-level managers and business professionals who rely on financial statements.

• Asset Managers • Auditors & Compliance Directors • Board Members • Business Development Directors • CFOs & Finance Directors • Company Secretaries • Corporate Development Directors • Corporate Transaction Advisers • General Managers • Heads of Corporate Finance • Hedge Funds Managers

• Independent Directors • Industry Regulators • Institutional Investors • Investment Bankers • M&A Event-Driven Fund Managers • Private Equity Directors • Restructuring Advisors • Senior Government Officials • Strategic Planners • Treasurers

Get the edge you need to succeed

By integrating strategic, accounting and financial analysis into the valuation process, as well as selecting the appropriate modeling technique, participants can obtain a much more realistic value of an M&A target firm, as well as the value of their own firm. This way it is possible to establish a price for a acquisition that is firmly based on the long term potentials of the target firm and the value of the synergies. This practical hands-on course is also tailored for executives who need to "fill the gaps" in financial knowledge quickly, and want to relate the knowledge learned directly to business analysis and investment valuation. ^Top

Masterclass Methodology

The Masterclass is highly interactive. Besides lectures, an integral part of the learning process is case discussion. The cases are designed to put the participants in the role of the key decision maker. In this participant-centered learning environment, success depends on the prior preparation of the participants from the cases. It is therefore very important that the participants prepare well from the appropriate business cases, which will be sent out in advance, prior to attending the Masterclass.
