Week 4 Lecture

FIN616 International Financial Management

Lecture

 

 

Introduction

When financial managers of domestic firms complete capital budgeting analysis they must consider major objectives such as sales forecasts, cost forecasts, discount rate calculations (including added risk and required rate of return), etc. International financial managers within MNCs must consider not only all of these factors, but also tax differentials, exchange rate fluctuations, inflation, financing arrangements, uncertain sales and salvage value forecasts, etc. During this week we will expand upon the capital budgeting process learned in corporate finance and add international elements and considerations.

One of the basic fundamentals of corporate finance is that the main goal of financial managers is to maximize shareholder wealth. One way in which a corporation can ensure that shareholder wealth is maximized (rather than the maximization of current profits to increase the salary of top managers) is to have a strong corporate governance policy enacted. We will discuss ways in which MNCs can incorporate a strong corporate governance policy in all subsidiaries to ensure corporate wide maximization of shareholder wealth.
