Debt Management:

John D. Finnerty is a Partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in New York City and a Professor of Finance at Fordham University. Douglas R. Emery is the Finance Department Chair and Nations Bank Scholar at the University of Miami (Florida).

Debt Management should be on the bookshelf of all chief financial officers and corporate treasurers. Finnery and Emery clearly explain how to design an optimal debt instrument to minimize funding costs and how to deal with the refunding decision after issuance.
