Module:
(objectives)
The course (module II) aims at developing skills and competences in identifying, analysing and managing/solving the conflicts of interest in financial sector and in the governance of a firm. Specifically, leaving from the recent corporate scandals, we will analyse a definition pattern of interest conflict typologies, the reasons and conflict implications of agency relationships “principal-agent” and “principal-principal”, the conflicts in financial sector and in the gate-keepers infrastructure; therefore, the respective causes and tools of preventing/solving will be analysed and discussed. Finally, the worst practices in valuation will be analysed, linking them with conflicts that could be involved in IPOs (mainly underpricing) and in M&As and be exploited in valuation practices.
