What You’ll Learn in ACCA Advanced Financial Management (AFM)
The ACCA Advanced Financial Management (AFM) exam develops the high-level skills needed to make strategic financial decisions in complex, real-world environments. AFM prepares you for senior finance roles by deepening your expertise in investment appraisal, business valuations, risk management, corporate financing, and strategic financial planning.
Building on FM, AFM takes you into the strategic, analytical, and advisory responsibilities expected of CFOs, financial directors, consultants, and investment professionals.
The strategic financial role
Understand how financial leaders shape an organisation’s long-term direction. You’ll explore financial strategy, value creation, stakeholder expectations, corporate objectives, and how finance interacts with business strategy at the highest level.
Advanced investment appraisal
Master sophisticated techniques for evaluating major investment decisions. You’ll apply adjusted net present value (APV), real options, sensitivity and scenario analysis, capital rationing, acquisition valuations, international investments, and financing effects on project viability.
Business valuations
Develop advanced valuation expertise used by analysts, investment banks, and corporate finance teams. You’ll study equity valuations, enterprise valuations, free cash flow models, dividend models, earnings multiples, and how to assess the value of both listed and private companies.
Corporate finance and financing decisions
Explore how organisations raise long-term finance and structure their capital efficiently. You’ll cover debt vs equity choices, private equity, venture capital, hybrid financing, capital structure theories, dividend policies, IPOs, rights issues, and the impact of financing on risk and value.
Risk management and hedging strategies
Gain deep expertise in managing interest rate, foreign exchange, and commodity risks in dynamic global markets. You’ll learn how to design hedging strategies using forwards, futures, options, swaps, money market hedges, and combined instruments — and evaluate their effectiveness.
International finance and exchange rate risk
Understand the unique challenges of operating across borders. You’ll study cross-border cash flows, interest rate parity, purchasing power parity, forecasting exchange rates, and how international factors influence financing and investment decisions.
Mergers, acquisitions, and corporate restructuring
Learn to evaluate and advise on corporate transactions and restructuring strategies. You’ll examine takeover tactics, synergy analysis, defensive strategies, regulatory issues, deal pricing, integration challenges, and financial modelling for M&A transactions.
Financial modelling and data analysis
Develop practical skills in building financial models to support strategic decisions. You’ll use forecasting, scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis, and spreadsheet-based techniques to assess risk, value, and financial outcomes.
Professional ethics and judgement in financial management
Explore how ethical principles guide financial decision-making at senior level. You’ll apply professional scepticism, evaluate conflicts of interest, and understand the ethical implications of financing, acquisition, investment, and valuation decisions.
