Introduction
In this unit you will engage in learning activities that focus on business structures and company law and the influence of these on financial planning and decision-making. You will learn to identify the key financial and legal risks to agribusinesses. To do this, you will learn about financial accounting standards and tax law, financial bench marking, and the management of risk. You will also develop an understanding of the tools used for this, including cash flow analysis, profit and loss statements, balance sheets, partial and whole budgeting, and break even and sensitivity analyses. Also included are learnings around investment analysis and sources of short-term finance.
To enable you to apply theory to practice, you will analyse and critique an annual report identifying key financial management indicators and legal compliance. Additionally, you will draft a financial plan that includes a financial and legal risk analysis of a selected investment proposal for your business.

1. Business structures and company law.
2. Financial and management accounting.
3. Financial accounting standards and tax law.
4. Financial bench marking
