Course Overview

Several factors make investment decisions using capital budgeting one of the most important functions.  Capital budgeting and improvement plans are all about projects requiring collaboration across multiple departments touching disparate systems such as budgeting, performance, reporting, and communications. Financial managers in long term decision making based on capital budgeting are also involved with: 

  • Capital used to fund investment projects is limited, and must be carefully allocated across the entire business. 
  • Investments require the use of large amount of cash, limiting future financial flexibility. 
  • If a firm invests too much into a capital project, it could have high depreciation on an asset with limited value. 
  • If a firm invests too little into a capital project, it may have limited capacity, putting it at a disadvantage versus competitors. 
  • Timing is important, ideally investment projects are completed as close to when they are needed. 

This webinar provides an overview of the concepts of capital budgeting for investment decision making from the perspective of a finance and accounting organization, emphasizing the integration of cash flows, net present value analysis, risk assessment and risk management. The webinar starts with an overview of the capital budgeting process and then reviews the analysis of cash flows during the development, operating and end of project phases. 

Topics include: 

  • Capital Budgeting Process
  • Cash Flow Analysis
  • Payback and Discounted Payback
  • Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
  • Risk Analysis in Capital Budgeting
  • Evaluating and Ranking Capital Projects
  • Risk Mitigation Using Real Options

William Cony,

The presenter was simply great. He helped me with more explanation on the matter on personal chat as well as after the webinar. I also received some information about how I may be able to use some functions that are popularly ignored. It was very impressive. Thank you MyCPE.
