CFO Series: Are You Making a Profit? Hidden Risks & Costs

Description

Is the organization really making an actual profit? Enough profit to compensate the owners for the risks they are taking? Does management know how to estimate the cost of capital (‘COC’)? Determining the COC for a privately held business is complex and nuanced. We will address these issues, the latest academic research, and provide a practical method of gaining a reasonable estimate of the true cost of capital for a closely held company. Armed with this information, you will be able to make better business decisions that take into account the true cost of making new investments and assess the true economic operating performance of the firm. The COC is used every day by the best leaders, and we can do a better job of developing the COC.
