The main objective of the module is to impart sound theoretical but at the same time practically usable knowledge in the areas of company valuation and corporate governance. In particular, participants should be able to recognize the limits of existing concepts in order to arrive at their own further developments on this basis, if necessary. By focusing on understanding interrelationships and linking theory and practice, the sustainability of the training is ensured.
