CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND FINANCIAL ENGINEERING

In this part, we will examine the issues an investment banker deals with on a daily basis when assisting a company in its strategic decisions which include:

  • organising a group;
  • launching an IPO;1
  • selling assets, a subsidiary or the company;
