Corporate Finance - Flotations, Equity Issues and Acquisitions describes the theory, principles and practice of this complex area. The book covers the full range of activities carried out by the corporate finance department of major investment banks. With a strong practical emphasis the book identifies the key elements behind the formulation of appropriate strategy and details the steps that need to be taken.

The third edition is fully updated to include the main developments which have taken place since the last edition, including the wider use by both financial institutions and corporates of more complex financial theory such as portfolio and option pricing models. The sections on valuation and pricing have been rewritten. In addition to general legal updating new sections on corporate governance and creative accounting have been added bringing the book up-to-date with recent developments in practice.
