One of a series of regularly updated Study Texts providing coverage of the examinations of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA), this workbook covers the entire syllabus and includes numerous questions from past examinations with full suggested solutions. The text has been fully revised to meet the requirements of the 1989 course and designed for students taking Part 4 of the Company Secretarial and General and Financial Administration streams of the ICSA examinations, but it is likely to be of value to anyone dealing with business finance. The various sections of the book reflect the structure of the Business Finance syllabus and include information on multinational companies, theories of gearing, share valuations and the efficient markets hypothesis.
