Advanced Capital Budgeting: Analysis that Improves Long-term ROI (Video) (Course Id 1092)

This is a course in establishing a capital budgeting process from conducting due diligence through to communicating and facilitating discussions of capital investment opportunities with decision makers. Capital budgeting is a key strategic process that ensures capital is deployed to only those opportunities that have a high probability of meeting or exceeding the expectations for return. It is also a process that ensures that scarce capital resources are deployed to the highest yield opportunities across the organization.

In this course, we will walk through how to develop assumptions, prepare the capital budgeting analysis, and quantify risk using tornado charts and monte-carlo simulation analysis. We will also discuss the financing implications of capital investment opportunities by looking at lease versus buy analysis, a related but often confused part of capital budgeting.
