Course Overview
Capital, liquidity and reputation are all exposed by weak handling of capital investment appraisal. The audit trail behind this aspect of financial and banking practice matters as much as the decision itself. The course gives participants a defensible structure for the practice within financial and banking practice and the judgement to adapt it. Participants finish able to explain capital investment appraisal to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for the financial and banking practice capability, not for observers of it. Progress on this strand of financial and banking practice is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of capital investment appraisal is examined, not just described. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the wider financial and banking practice agenda outperform teams that only plan it. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the financial and banking practice capability sustainable.
