The ABC of Investor Relations - 17 May 2021

Why should you attend​

​You are part of a listed company and belong to the team responsible for developing

and selling a compelling investment case to current and prospective shareholders. And the game is changing fast. Financial performance is no longer the yardstick for the overall value of a company. Environmental, social, corporate governance and reputation issues are increasing in their importance. How you communicate with that audience can either help your company or sink it. Investor Relations are therefore no longer “nice-to-have”

Course outline:​     

This course offers a comprehensive understanding of the practice that is investor relations today, where the ability to combine finance, communication, marketing and legal skills are critical for any company that wants to effectively and professionally compete for capital. It takes a practical approach to the designing and executing of a best-practice investor relations strategy.

Understanding how Analysts and Investors use financial statements – 18 May 2021

Why should you attend?

The disclosure of financial statements is not only a regulatory requirement for listed companies, it is also a primary source of information for capital market participants to assess their value. Financial analysts and investors in particular have their own way of looking at your numbers and this may widely differ from what your corporate accountants had in mind when they produced these documents. One of the most important missions of professional Investor Relations is therefore to bridge this gap and reconcile everyone’s approach on how to assess the financial health of your company, its past performance and future prospects.
