MODELING SKILL LEVEL

Intermediate-to-Advanced

OBJECTIVES

Public-Private Partnership Modeling & Legal Analysis is a Vair Training Specialty Class and focuses uniquely on Public-Private Partnership ("PPP") projects in Canada and their related modeling issues. After reviewing some basic elements that separate PPP from traditional infrastructure and project financing, the participants are given a full suite of project documents and macroeconomic information that are indicative to infrastructure projects. This is followed by a step-by-step procedure of building a complex model for a concessionaire bid. This phase of the course demonstrates how to dove-tail contracts and shows that nothing in PPP is mutually exclusive.

Once completed, the delegates review the model from a due-diligence analysis, usually taken from a government, lender or third-party equity perspective. The final phase of this module uses sophisticated model techniques, including Palisade's @RISK 5.0, to help the practitioner price the deal and negotiate off the financial model. Special consideration is given to more advanced PPP issues like liquidated-damages analysis and appropriate security packages. Palisade's @RISK Monte Carlo Simulation capabilities will bring a value-add and more dynamic dimension to the normally static spreadsheet analysis. The course's overriding theme is to use the model as a highly-developed financial analysis tool that reviews the appropriate risk-versus-reward profiles of project finance. This is an advanced course and is geared to the intermediate-to-advanced delegate.
