Aimed at financial analysts seeking a best practice approach to building a project finance model. Delegates will construct a model to perform a discounted cash flow analysis, exploring the relevant sensitivities and a number of fundamental techniques and concepts, which will prove invaluable in future modelling assignments.

Aimed at investment analysts seeking a best practice approach to building a company valuation model. We undertake a simplified valuation exercise of a company, using a standard DCF approach to introduce an overall approach to building models, as well as a number of fundamental techniques and concepts, which will prove invaluable in future modelling assignments.

Aimed at financial analysts and managers who want a better method to construct quarterly and annual budgets including cash flows, fund flows, profit and loss accounts and balance sheets, using a small start-up company as a case study. This course provides a sound grounding in basic modelling technique, as well as a number of fundamental concepts, which will prove invaluable in future modelling assignments.

This course follows on from the Project Finance Methodology and Techniques course. It explores a number of more advanced techniques which can be used in complex models. The model developed on the previous course is extended and techniques for calculating subordinated debt and the cash cascade are introduced. Quality issues are explored through the use of an audit sheet. We will expect you to have attended the Project Finance Methodology and Techniques course before attending this course.

Aimed at financial analysts seeking a more sophisticated treatment for the modelling of debt. Starting with a simple term loan, delegates develop a number of increasingly complex features associated with debt modelling, including grace periods, the cash cascade, debt sculpting and the cash sweep, and the debt service reserve account (DSRA). Techniques for handling and managing circularities are explored, as are the concepts and applications of the various debt cover ratios. We will expect you to have attended the Project Finance Methodology and Techniques course before attending this course.

This course follows on from the Project Finance Methodology and Techniques course. It explores a number of more advanced techniques which are used in complex PFI/PPP models. We explore how to develop a model for use in a PFI/PPP bid, such as modelling quarterly periods, fixed asset and finance debtor accounting, reserves, cover ratios, handling circular code and a variety of project evaluation criteria. We will expect you to have attended the Project Finance Methodology and Techniques course before attending this course.
