- Evaluate the performance of a company based on a qualitative approach, backed by appropriate quantitative analysis (ratios and cash flow tools) to support a lending decision
- Use appropriate market indicators, where available (e.g. ratings, equity indicators, bond and CDS spreads) to understand refinancing risk and the market view on a credit
- Anticipate a company’s future performance and credit outlook using a cash flow approach to ascertain its ability to service/refinance its debt as it comes due
- Sensitise forecasts for key variables and interpret the results and their effect on creditworthiness.
- Critique bond and loan structures to assess both the ability to meet the commercial needs of the borrower and protect the lender’s interests.
This workshop makes extensive use of case studies, live examples and exercises to ensure that the training is highly interactive, practical, topical and challenging. Case studies are drawn from a number of countries and industries and provide participants with the opportunity to practise the application of the analytic frameworks and tools in context.
