About Money Atelier

Monday evening, executives are extremely joyful over the record profits, and everything is steady. Tuesday morning, all the headlines read fraud, hidden debts, and fake profits. Investigation has begun, regulators are stepping in, billions of dollars have vanished into thin air, and all businesses are asking one major question: 

What’s happened? 

Financial collapses are the result of bad decisions in corporate finance. A corporate scandal can take place when the money is manipulated or when it is raised unethically, which means that the story doesn’t just stay in boardrooms, but it also ends up in courtrooms. I started Money Atelier because each business event noted in history has significance in a lot of today’s financial decisions. The financial events of several scandals are usually overlooked, as most discussions tend to be focused on the headlines, sidelining the core issue which helps shape so many business regulations around the world. These scandals are often used as case studies by various investors and businesses, educating them about what they shouldn’t do. 

Corporate finance is essentially the way corporations make financial decisions, address funding sources, and mitigate risk. If these financial decisions are implemented accurately, companies are able to stimulate growth, which eventually leads to economies thriving. However, if these decisions are mishandled, whether through being overexposed to risk or fraudulent practices – can lead to industries changing substantially. 

Each of my blogs will involve a case related to corporate finance – from financial fraud to contentious business actions. This blog will not only outline what happened and the impact of such decisions, but aims to explain the reasons behind them. It will also serve as a cautionary lesson for investors and business leaders. 

This blog will present a series of key case studies from corporate finance history, which provide insight into the laws in the world of corporate finance. This helps investors avoid mistakes that have been made in the past, as George Santayana once said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
