The Role of Financial Management in Mergers and Acquisitions a Strategic Perspective

Abstract

This study looks at financial management's critical role in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) from a strategic standpoint. Corporate development depends on M&A transactions, which need for careful financial analyses to make sure that they are in line with organisational goals and market conditions. To choose appropriate targets and negotiate advantageous terms, effective financial management requires thorough due diligence, valuation methods, and risk assessment. Post-merger integration also requires constant performance monitoring and strategy alignment across several dimensions in order to achieve financial objectives and realise projected synergies. The complexity brought up by international regulatory frameworks and cross-border transactions are also covered in the study. This research attempts to give insights into how strong financial management may improve the effectiveness of M&A operations, eventually contributing to sustained competitive advantage in today's changing business climate, by analysing best practices and identifying possible problems.
