PPP/P3/Infrastructure Financial Modelling and Transaction Analysis (APAC)

3 day duration

PPP/P3/Infrastructure: Financial modelling and transaction analysis will enable you to develop flexible and transparent models for PPP/P3 infrastructure projects such as toll roads, rail and social infrastructure. Tailored to Asia Pacific.

PPP/P3 project structures, this course will provide modelling techniques required for investors, sponsors, developers and bankers.

Case study – PPP/P3: practical financial modelling workshop

With the use of a real-life case study, you will have hands-on experience in how to go from a blank Excel workbook to a successfully executed P3/PPP transaction model. Using the Forvis Mazars Financial Modelling methodology, you will gain a deep understanding of funding structures, debt mechanics, risk metrics, cash flow waterfalls and essential scenario analysis.

This financial modelling course will enable you to:

  • Develop skills to take a blank spreadsheet to financial close of a PPP/P3 transaction
  • Understand typical VBA applications for PPP/P3
  • Learn flexible modelling techniques for debt analysis, covenants, financial statements and investment metrics
  • Master transparent and flexible modelling with a focus on professionally styled analysis for communication
  • Implement a powerful framework for scenario analysis in investment, structuring and risk analysis
  • Understand the financial modelling implications of industry metrics, funding mechanics, risk analysis and legal structures

Do you build/analyse PPP/P3 Infrastructure project finance models?

If you need to build, review or analyse project finance models within the of PPP/P3 infrastructure sector, this course is for you. Typical attendees include to investors, sponsors, developers, and bankers working with Asia Pacific projects structures.

Required knowledge: Excel, Finance and the PPP/P3 Infrastructure sector
