Course Overview

 

Using a case study approach and proven techniques for best practice modelling, participants will develop a structured, transparent and flexible project finance financial model. Calculations cover revenues, operating costs, capital  expenditure, depreciation, debt and equity financing leading to the development of integrated financial statements.

Participants will learn to work with the powerful and easy to follow FAST modelling practice methodology. These skills can be used to support reviews by Lenders and to support organisations that develop projects. Throughout the course, key aspects of project finance transactions are discussed and how these may be translated into a financial model.
