Into the Boardroom Series

Video Synopsis:

The first part of this program, Profits of Doom, looks at what the financial accounts are really saying.

Andrew King is offered the chair of Mega. He's ecstatic - until he consults his son, Peter.  As Peter and Andrew pore over the data, Andrew's enthusiasm for Mega's apparently exceptional performance begins to wane. As Peter reveals the truth behind the accounts and explains such concepts as hedging and gearing it becomes clear that Mega has deep-seated problems.

In What's Good for the Shareholder, a bullish Andrew announces that he has investigated Cosmic Corporation and decided to take the chair. Peter agrees the company is sound, but how does Cosmic use its assets.  He shows the importance of comparing 'like with like', equalizing different ages and financing methods to gain a true picture.

Shareholder value Peter also explains shareholder value. This means that Cosmic's shares must earn more than a risk-free investment. After his son's incisive analysis of what shareholders look for, Andrew decides he will no longer be looking at Cosmic.
