Would you like to learn more about mergers and acquisitions?

During this course participants will learn about the strategic and financial reasons for M&A deals. The course will begin with an introduction to mergers and acquisitions and the strategic and financial reasons for doing M&A deals.

Participants will then complete a merger model by modelling and valuing synergies and assessing the benefits of each of the different financing options available. There will be an emphasis on sourcing historic data, estimating key forecast ratios and forecasting integrated income statements, balance sheets & cash flow statements.

With regard to synergies, the course will give an introduction to synergies and cover operational and financial synergies. There will be a case study to calculate net synergy benefits, as well as case studies regarding valuation. Scenario and sensitivity analyses will also be covered.

In addition, participants will consider pro forma accounts post acquisition and assess the impact of EPS accretion and dilution. The value of the combined enterprise and the synergies in particular will be calculated.

Participants will also learn how to structure transactions, including asset share transactions and cash/debt free transactions.
