Why is Financial Modelling Important
In the end, the economic or business result is what matters most to the client. One of the top global
Hatch clients has gone on record with.....
“Rio has plenty of engineers, geologists and accountants but,
according to Mr Walsh, it needs . . . people with a feel for
business who treat the company’s money as if it were their own.
I want people to act like business owners rather than solely for
their disciplines . . . in terms of what delivers value to our
shareholders”

Eliminate obvious
non-viable options
saving time and
money later
The contingency and risk
will reduce as more
engineering is done and
more confidence in the
inputs, both financial and
engineering
Potentially increase
the number of
options. Each
scenario having
sub-options.
Once the single option is picked a more classical approach to financial
modelling, viz. input oriented modelling, can be applied.
PFS (FEL2)
Engineering
The convergent
phase of FEL 2 the
aim is to go to one
scenario that will be
engineered.
