Key Benefits of Attending

At the end of this course delegates will have developed a reasonable understanding of:

  • The fundamental difference between Cash (Management) Accounting and Financial Accounting on an accrual basis and how to extract cash figures from the latter.
  • How to construct simple Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) models of mining projects in both nominal (inflated) and real dollars under assumed certainty.
  • Investment choices based on the main DCF criteria of value (e.g. NPV, IRR, discounted payback etc.)
  • The role of equity and debt in funding projects to generate financial leverage and how to handle them in DCF analysis.
  • The concept of risk, our attitude to it and how to make decisions under uncertainty using either the expected value or the expected utility (preference) value criteria.
  • How sensitivity and scenario analysis, and Monte Carlo simulations are conducted.
