You can view these atwww.anglia.ac.uk/academicregs. An extract of the Academic Regulations, known as the AssessmentRegulations, is available at this website too (all new students will have received a printed copy as part oftheir welcome pack).In the unlikely event of any discrepancy between the Academic Regulations and any other publication,including this module guide, the Academic Regulations, as the definitive document, take precedence over allother publications and will be applied in all cases.1.2Introduction to the ModuleThis module is relevant to all Masters level business students, with or without a relevant first degree, as itintroduces the financial analysis theories and practices applicable to modern business from a strategicperspective, then develops student's knowledge and ability to apply these techniques, and critically appraisetheir validity.All organisations will find themselves judged, regardless of their objectives, on financial grounds. In themodern business environment it is essential that managers are fully aware of the financial consequences oftheir actions and how external stakeholders may interpret financial reports. A key element in management'sawareness is the internal monitoring of performance, using all tools available, to ensure a 'true and fair'message is given.This module will initially use accounting history and theory to evaluate the influences on contemporaryfinancial reports. It will then utilise traditional uni-variate analysis to evaluate financial performance, beforemoving on to market reports, non financial data and multi-variate analysis. Finally the module will consider principle techniques for monitoring corporate performance from an internalperspective. One of the main focuses for the design of this module has been the further development ofrelevant employability and professional skills. Such skills are implicit in the learning outcomes. This moduleis assessed through a 3,000 word assignment.This module will also be on the MA CG(BL) course delivered by blended learning. The content, assessmentsand outcomes content will be identical between the two courses delivery paths.Page 2
