Contemporary Issues in Finance - Audio

The complex field of finance is relevant to everybody in one way or another and is particularly relevant to all aspects of management. Representatives from Boots, De La Rue and ABN Amro offer insights into the various issues surrounding risk – what kinds of risk their companies are concerned with; how those risks are managed; their companies' differing attitudes to those risks. The album also explores developments in single currency, pension scheme deficits and corporate governance and explains what’s meant Forward Rate Agreement and Efficient-Market Hypothesis. This material forms part of The Open University course B821 Financial strategy.
