AbstractStudents come to business schools to gain the skills necessary to be good general managers. This paper poses the question as to whether there is a benefit to such students to be taught theory—and in particular the theory of finance. After briefly reviewing the field of financial management, the concept of a theory is discussed. This is followed by some thoughts on why, in general, theories should be studied. The theory of risk and return is then presented as a conceptual framework for the study of finance, and it is shown how important this framework is for students of management. Some comments follow on the gap between theory and practice, and finally it is postulated that finance, when taught in a risk-return framework, may be considered to be the key subject on the MBA programme.

AbstractInformation on financial flexibility is important to consider when projecting the cash flows of an enterprise. The level of financial flexibility can influence inter alia the risk profile, solvency and rate of return of an enterprise. At present, a gap exists between the informational needs of users and the actual information on financial flexibility presented in the financial statements. This paper suggests several improvements to the existing disclosure of this type of information.
