This course provides a comprehensive understanding of financial modelling and forecasting for project appraisal. It develops skills in analyzing financial statements, including balance sheets, income statements, and cash flows to assess business performance and distress. The course introduces valuation concepts, including DCF and relative valuation methods, focusing on model inputs, assumptions, and limitations. Students learn intrinsic valuation through cost of capital, discount rate estimation, and growth projections. The course concludes with relative valuation using multiples like P/E, P/B, and revenue-based ratios, and reconciling them with DCF approaches.
