Course Overview

Regulators no longer accept intent as evidence of control over syndicated lending and project finance. Growth built on poorly controlled project finance reverses faster than it accumulated. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in this part of financial and banking practice that were visible long before the incident. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for syndicated lending and project finance, not for observers of it. The programme is built to be used, and every section of the financial and banking practice capability it covers ends in something applicable. Ambition around project finance outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. They acquire practical criteria for judging when syndicated lending and project finance is working and when it is only appearing to. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about project finance in their own setting. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the financial and banking practice discipline survives a hostile question.
