International Corporate Reporting (871N1)

15 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Spring teaching

The module is intended to look at the theoretical issues surrounding international corporate reporting. This contemporary module brings into focus, among other things:

• the reasons for international differences in financial reporting
• the effects of fluctuating exchange rates
• the effects of transfer pricing.

Current debates will be examined and placed within appropriate contexts, both national and international. The module will give you the theoretical underpinning to assess the impact of these issues on financial statements of multinational companies. These outcomes are simultaneously achieved in the context of multinational enterprises and globalised regulatory environments.

The module will provide you with the essential skills and knowledge for a successful career in management or finance. You will develop the managerial skills required by employers in the private and public sectors.

A distinctive feature of the module is the global perspective on the interactions between business, management and finance. This is critical to the sustainability of the advanced economies, and growth and development of emerging economies.
