Recorded in April 2020. For newer work on delay, see modelling construction delay in renewable projects.

When times get harder, a financial model has to forecast realistic downsides: delays, lost revenue and cash shortfalls. This series of short recordings shows how to adapt a model for them. Part 1 is above; parts 2 to 4 follow.

What you will learn

  • Deal with late‑paying customers in a model for an operating project or business
  • Build in timing flexibility to forecast delays to financial close or construction
  • Model a loss of revenue properly, and handle cash shortfalls and the delays to debt service they cause
