Investment Appraisal, Risk Management and Financing
Introduction
In a constantly evolving economic environment, the aim of the seminar is to equip participants with specialised, up-to-date knowledge of the financial analysis of investment projects, their financing and risk management. The seminar examines the various financing instruments, the main risks of investment projects and their valuation, as well as the opportunities and challenges facing businesses in a globalised and evolving economic environment. Both theoretical and practical knowledge is presented and analysed through case studies relating to (a) the various sources of corporate financing (bonds, shares), (b) the analysis of the risks that businesses face in their financial decisions and investment projects, and the tools for managing them, and (c) the different methods of investment project appraisal and the criteria for accepting or rejecting a project. Emphasis is placed on developing a toolkit for identifying, understanding and solving problems faced by employees and executives in multinational companies operating in the energy, renewable energy sources (RES) and fibre-optics sectors. Overall, the seminar aims to build core skills among trainees and provides the knowledge of investment project analysis and risk management they need to cope with the new realities created by continuous changes in the business and working environment. It is clear that, in order to meet these needs, continuous training of the country’s workforce is essential, so that it can acquire new skills adapted to the changing demands of the labour market.
