Learner goals and capabilities

We are searching for companies that are looking for students to solve problems in relation to a range of finance principles. Our BAFN200 students are currently undertaking a Principles of finance course that focuses on the following topics:

  • Environment, social and governance (ESG) practices and financial decisions
  • Time value of money
  • Cash flows and capital budgeting
  • Dealing with uncertainty in decision making: Sensitivity and Scenario Analysis
  • Bond and share valuation
  • Risk and return trade-off and Capital Asset Pricing Model
  • Income, asset-based, and market valuation approaches
  • Capital and debt markets
  • Capital structure
  • Cost of capital
  • Dividend policy

We are looking to form partnerships with companies that wish to be part of the students' individual final assessment (due in early November 2022), where students assess the needs of a business and then create a report for the business owners/managers.

Expected outcomes and deliverables

Deliverables are negotiable, and will seek to align the needs of the students and the organisation. However due to this project being the basis for the final assessment, the project report will be submitted by early November.

The final project deliverable will be a detailed report that demonstrates a student's knowledge of the topics covered in the unit and to ascertain whether students have achieved the intended learning outcomes satisfactorily.

This includes their research, analysis, insights and recommendations based on a partners' specific needs.
