Finance for Engineers
by trueventus
Understand the financial concepts to appraise a project effectively.
25-26 June 2015 | Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW LINK TO PROGRAM:
Whatever area your expertise, engineers are an important part in the project and product
life cycle and have an invaluable role in delivering commercial success. Knowledge of
financial concepts becomes increasingly a requirement in the skill set of engineers in order
to demonstrate confidently that technical solutions do not only solve a problem, but can
solve the problem at reasonable and feasible cost in a competitive environment.
Engineering comes to life with projects that are implemented. A considerable amount of
projects, however, suffer from commercial insufficiencies and may therefore not perform as
expected. The development of sound feasibility assessments is crucial to ensure that all
costs of the project are captured in the correct way and that revenues can generate the
required levels of margins.
Engineers must therefore understand the financial concepts to appraise a project correctly
and to include concepts such as market and industry risk rates, the time value of money and
the role of accounting concepts in modelling a project life financially.
WHY YOU CANNOT MISS THIS EVENT
In just two days you will expand your knowledge of financial appraisal of projects and the
development of financial models that will excel your work and career.
The course is highly interactive and based on a theory-application-discussion model of
learning, supported by the use of case studies, practical exercises and group discussions
which will allow you to further develop your knowledge in this crucial area.

ABOUT YOUR COURSE LEADER
Umur is currently working in a dual function as
civil engineering and financial advisor. He started
his career as a research assistant at the Technical
University of Darmstadt, Germany. There he
conducted research and delivered lectures,
seminars and tutorials in the field of municipal
infrastructure planning. Umur specialised in the
areas of waste management and financial option
analysis to deliver infrastructure. After his research
period and some years with his own consultancy,
he headed off overseas and worked for several
international donor organisations such as the
German KfW and the WorldBank. In 19 countries - one of them Papua New
Guinea - he provided feasibility studies, implementation and management
advise, financial appraisals and numerous training sessions.
Having international experience in civil engineering and financial appraisal of
infrastructure projects Umur is an acknowledged expert in the area of project
evaluation and appraisal. In his role at QTC, he provides advice to all Local
Governments, State owned enterprises and State departments on municipal
infrastructure finance. He proved invaluable during the implementation of the
Australian Carbon Tax Regime in 2012. His technical knowledge combined
with his financial modelling skills gave his clients great confidence to respond
correctly to the Carbon tax. He is currently assisting his clients in feasibility
assessments and the identification of optimised financial arrangements of
municipal infrastructure projects.
He presents courses to organisations such as the Local Government
Association of Queensland, the Local Government Manager's Association
Australia and the Local Government Finance Professionals Australia.
He is very versatile and experienced to combine in a unique way the areas of
civil engineering, finance and management so that his training is focussed on
application and outcomes while presenting the necessary theoretical
background.
