Financial Model Detective Book: Hints and Tricks on how to Review Project Finance models

Description
All projects are different and have their own specific issues, so it’s not possible to generalize all issues related to projects of different natures. However, throughout the years of reviewing financial models, I realized there are some issues that come up in almost all projects.

This book aims to outline important and typical issues you should be looking for when reviewing a financial model and will help you to be faster in preparing your preliminary report on the financial model.

The first chapter goes through the "mechanical checks." This means things such as color-coding, format, integrity, and an overall check on the compatibility of the financial model with the best practice financial modeling standards. Then, in the next chapter, it dives into typical financial model assumptions such as "Key timing," "Capex," "Opex," Technical," "Financing," etc. The next section is about the financial statements, main metrics, and model results. The last part is a list of typical questions extracted from real project discussions.

The book manages to address issues related to audit of a project finance model in a simple, step by step and fun way.
