Читать книгу See-Through Modelling - Dominic Robertson - Страница 5

Company directors of PFI projects face some distinct problems:

 How to forecast the future while taking account of the past

 How to properly understand cash in the business

 Is it possible to model the business and learn from past mistakes and experiences?

These are the commercial problems that this book tries to address.

I propose a practical solution called the See-Through Modelling operating model and this book gives you the theory and practical detail necessary to build and maintain this model yourself.

Finance directors and modellers outside of project finance who are dealing with more general financial modelling problems within enterprises other than PFI should consider that the PFI entity is a limited company very similar to other limited companies or even publicly listed companies.

This book is about how to model legal entities that have accounting and cash issues relating to operations, financing from lenders and rewards to shareholders. The project finance operating model is seeded by the last closing balance sheet in exactly the same way that a corporation requires.
