Overview
CPA Members only
CPA Australia has partnered with Corporate Finance Institute (CFI ) to curate a collection of data and digital courses exclusively for CPA members. CFI courses have an emphasis on hands-on, practical learning and skills acquisition. They teach in-demand industry practices, tools and techniques that help accounting and finance professionals build confidence, stand out from the competition, and make a positive impact on their careers.
Behavioural finance is the study of the influence of psychology on the behaviour of financial practitioners. In the course, you will learn about the wide range of decision making biases and information processing errors that influence our financial decision making.
Well start the course with what behavioural finance is and how it impacts on financial markets. We will then explore the most common self-deception biases, cognitive biases, and emotional biases. We will discuss their causes and potential measures you can take to manage them. Well finish the course by discussing loss aversion and the herding bias.
