More than ever, project developers, equipment suppliers, bankers and other credit agencies and investors must be properly equipped to analyse and explain the risks and prospects for a projects future performance.
Therefore, this course is designed to help delegates build a financial model to best practice standards for project finance. The general logic and overall approach will be demonstrated then you will step through developing a model: handling inputs, building detailed calculations and creating final outputs. You will then learning how to sensitise the model to understand how changes in assumptions affect the business results and viability.
Over 4 intensive days, you will learn modeling techniques from a highly experienced expert in the field, and you will develop a framework for recognising and analysing qualitative risks. You will also understand how Excel models are used to access debt capacity, cover ratios, NPV, investment returns and other metrics common to attractive deals.
