Description

The Certified Analyst in Project Finance (CAPF) certification is ideal for those CMAs who desire to apply the knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques learnt in the CMA program to project financing and investment appraisal activities. Essentially, Project finance is the financing of long-term infrastructure, industrial projects and public services using a non-recourse or limited recourse financial structure. The debt and equity used to finance the project are usually paid back from the cash flow generated by the project. Project financing is a loan structure that relies primarily on the project’s cash flow for repayment, with the project’s assets, rights and interests held as secondary collateral. Project finance is especially attractive to the private sector because companies can fund major projects off-balance sheet. The main feature of project finance is the whole amount may or may not be not invested upfront.

Daily activities Certified Analyst in Project Finance (CAPF) will include managing project databases, researching project and market factors, and supporting the organisations financing efforts.

A Project Finance Analyst is useful in the case of large projects related to industrial, construction, oil refinery or renewable energy projects. Project Finance Analysts perform several duties during the project’s lifecycle, including data gathering and analysis, cash flow monitoring and reporting, tax compliance, and working with staff members in accounting and sales departments to complete projects according to business needs and internal and external deadlines.
