A number of specific accounting standards and generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) will be examined in this course and students will be required to understand and apply the recognition, measurement and disclosure requirements of the standards and GAAP (for example, measure and record transactions and economic events) and be able to prepare each of the financial statements.

Financial Market
This course examines the structure, operation and performance of the Australian financial system using principles of financial and monetary economics. Students are introduced to a selection of financial markets, products and institutions the operations of which largely determine key financial variables that affect decisions to save and invest in the real economy.
Portfolio Management
The current trend in the funds management industry is away from security analysis (stock picking) and towards asset allocation (managing the balance of equities, bonds, cash etc). The former, which may be called investment management, has been surpassed in importance by the latter, which may be called portfolio management. Portfolio management is important to both individuals who manage their own personal assets and managers who manage the assets of others. This course aims to cover the important aspects of portfolio management. Coverage includes: the construction of the portfolio and importance of investment objectives and policies; the management of the portfolio including the selection of assets, the utilisation of modern portfolio methods and the revision of the portfolio; and the protection of the portfolio through the use of derivatives. Emphasis is placed on the analytical aspects of portfolio management and the decision making process to enable students to apply the established theories and models in the financial world.
Finance Theory and Applications
This course extends the material presented and also introduces further more advanced theory and applications thereof. Firstly, some fundamental issues in finance such as the consumption/investment trade-off and the interaction of that decision with capital markets (under conditions of certainty) are introduced. The arithmetic of mean-variance portfolio theory is then presented. This allows portfolio theory to be developed, which then leads into the presentation of the related capital asset pricing model together with two important applications. The net present value methodology is then extended into the new and more sophisticated area of real options. The valuation of real options is further developed by way of the binomial pricing process. The important 'existence' issue of an optimal capital structure is then examined by way of the propositions resulting from Modigliani and Miller's analysis together with some alternative theories of capital structure. Empirical evidence on capital structure is examined and the various theories of capital structure assessed from a practical point of view. Various methods of evaluating the levered firm are then developed with emphasis given to the incidence of taxes. Finally, the interesting and important area of mergers, acquisitions and governance is explored.
