<p>This project-based unit aims to prepare students to work in entry-level positions within finance departments of companies or financial advisory organisations. Working in teams, students will focus on projects based on assessing the debt/loan funding requirements of a company for new capital expenditure. Students will perform an analysis of a sector and an associated company’s financial performance (solvency, profitability, and liquidity). As a result, students will assess project cash flows, advise management on project viability, and prepare a loan application. Successful completion of this unit will assist students to work effectively in teams, prepare for a range of entry-level roles within the finance function of an organisation or act as a junior financial advisor. Students will also learn how to prepare Project Finance Reports or Business Plans as required by clients.</p>
