Join Dr Denis Lima e Alves from the University of East Anglia for a live, interactive Accounting/Business session on mergers and acquisitions. The talk explores why companies merge, buy competitors or sell parts of their business, and how they decide whether a deal will create value.
Using case studies of well-known businesses, the session introduces the strategic and financial analysis behind M&A. Students will look at growth opportunities, potential targets, financial statements, valuations and forecasts, as well as the impact of synergies, financing choices and integration costs.
The event links core ideas in accounting and business strategy to real commercial decisions, and encourages students to think critically about the evidence behind major corporate moves.
