Corporate Finance and Corporate Governance
Corporate finance deals with the capital structure of firms, their sources of funding, the actions that managers take to increase the value of the firms, and the tools and analysis used to allocate financial resources. Corporate governance is the system of controls, regulations, and incentives designed to minimise agency costs between managers and investors and prevent corporate fraud. Research conducted by finance academics from the UQ Business School in this area includes executive compensation, ownership structure, corporate investment, capital structure, corporate innovation, institutional ownership, insider trading, IPOs, boards of directors, and entrepreneurial finance.
