HOW YOU WILL BENEFIT
This course covers the key steps in identifying the critical components of a project and assessing the associated risk. It includes a thorough review of the roles of the different parties in the transaction (the sponsor, the company, the commercial lenders, technical experts and lawyers), an examination of the four different phases of the deal and emphasises especially the risk aspects. The methodology behind the construction of the cashflows and the techniques deployed in their evaluation are taught comprehensively with exercises. The structure of the transaction is also addressed, as are the legal and documentation aspects. The essential due diligence procedures are also reviewed. The seminar includes several major case studies and also deals with international aspects.
