Introduction

One of the sure -fire measures of a manager’s competence is the ability to allocate resources to create the most value for the enterprise. However, to effectively allocate resources to competing needs and projects, a manager must have the requisite tools to measure and evaluate the benefits, costs and resource – requirements for each project. The process of finding and effectively allocating the resources or funding for a project is at the heart of project modeling and finance.

In this course, we will take a fun and participant- driven approach to get an understanding of the basic building blocks of project finance and financial modeling. Specifically, the course takes a high-level approach to explaining the major concepts in finance such as corporate finance, capital markets and investments, financial statement analysis and capital budgeting, among others.

Further, we will take a deep dive into the unique areas of project financing, its setup and risk mitigation arrangements. We will then conclude with a conceptual review and practical exercise in generic project modeling as well as a discussion of the tools needed to critique project finance.
