Principles of Financial Leadership

The Principles of Financial Leadership specialization equips learners with the essential tools to understand, interpret, and apply financial concepts in real-world business contexts. Across three courses (Foundations of Finance, Foundations of Corporate Finance, and Financial Accounting and Capital Markets) you will explore the differences between debt and equity, cash flow and accounting profit, and book versus market value.

You’ll develop a practical understanding of key concepts such as capitalisation, depreciation, IRR, and discounted cash flow analysis, reinforced through case studies, industry insights, and interactive knowledge checks. By the end of the specialization, you will be able to evaluate financial performance, compare investment opportunities, and make informed, sustainable business decisions with confidence.
