During week 6 we develop the theory and application of capital bud.docxjacksnathalie
During week 6 we develop the theory and application of capital budget analysis. The theory was robust, the calculations mathematically and logically defined, and many of the real-world problems, likely to be encountered, were addressed. As capital budgeting essentially re-invents the company through major long-term expenditures it is arguably one of the most critical functions that financial management performs. However, based on my personal experiences, extensive empirical data, and antidotal data - many firms routinely experience significant failures in their selection of capital projects.
The assignment for this topic consists if two parts:
1) For your first topic in this conference I would like for you to briefly review either your personal experiences and/or the financial literature to identify and present a description of one actual capital project/product failure and the reasons attributed to the failure. For those of you who do not have personal experiences the following are some illustrated examples of failed projects/products over the last 50 years you may want to look up and consider: -New Coke,- The Iridium Satellite Communication,- the Edsel automobile, Beta (vs. VHS), the Concord SST, and various Dot Coms. Feel free to research others.
In your response please provide financial information regarding the project (what is available): initial outlay, projected cash flows, final dollar losses.
Remember this is a one to two paragraph exercise - do not go overboard - a few hours research and summation is all that’s required. I am interested only in your short, concise description of the project and the major reasons you believe it failed.
2) Synthesize your one-paragraph position on what 3-5 specific factors you believe most likely to contribute to capital project analysis failure.

1. Coverage profile for BCP/Risk
Management
Introduction
Many companies have an increased requirement for Risk Management today.
Some companies face an increase legal requirement from actions taken by the Thai or
Foreign governments. These include:
• the new SEC rules for listed companies in Thailand requiring adequate Risk
Management and IT Disaster Recovery Planning
• Sarbannes-Oxley (SOX) legislation impacting US listed companies and all
subsidiaries anywhere in the world
• Basel 2 for the banking industry
• J-Sox – Japanese version of SOX
• APRA and Australian government legislation
Other companies face other challenges requiring improved Risk Management practices.
These may include those facing:
• Increased competition from the expansion of international trade
• Increased shareholder or stakeholder activism
• Expanding terrorism risks or awareness
• Increased insurance premium costs or lowering of coverage
• Pressure from lenders or customers
• Increased likelihood of natural disasters
Risk Management will raise awareness of these concerns and allow a means to minimise the
possibility of risk events occurring.
In some cases the Treatment of risks will require preparation of plans that can be used if the
risk event occurs. These are known as Business Continuity Plans.
Risk Management and Business Continuity Planning are activities that require specialist
experienced and qualified skill sets to complete appropriately and efficiently. To date these
skills have been provided to the Thai market by the big 4 accounting firms – but this is both
expensive and impractical now, due to a potential conflict of interest issue for accounting firms
performing audits.

Coverage understand that the senior managers are busy, and cannot assist with BCP
activities on a full-time basis, so the projects are typically performed on and off-site, and are
not full-time. Coverage consultants will work with clients based on their availability and needs.
This process typically takes between 2 and 3 months to complete depending on the number
of staff that need to be interviewed, and trained, and how many Specific Contingency Plans
need to be developed. For some complicated or large organisations a maximum time of 6
months may be expected.
