In the world of project finance, financial models are at the centre of getting deals done. Once the transaction is complete, an updated “operational model” is often procured for a variety of purposes and for use by various stakeholders. What can seem like a straightforward modelling exercise can, however, be a big challenge to all involved, due to competing requirements.

Hear from our experts at Mazars on the following topics:

  • Recap: what is an operational model and how does it differentiate from a model at financial close?
  • When might an operational model be procured?
  • Who are the stakeholders, and what are their requirements?
  • How can the modelling process help align expectations and develop knowledge of the business among stakeholders?
  • How to agree a specification and deliver the model.

This webinar is aimed at all who in invest in, and monitor deals which are project financed.
