Mastering Depreciation: Avoid Modelling Pitfalls
27 January, 11AM GMT// 12PM CET // 3PM GST
Depreciation may seem like a simple accounting concept, but in project finance it can make or break the accuracy of your model. In this session, we’ll unravel the differences between accounting depreciation and tax depreciation, from straight-line and reducing balance methods to tax-specific approaches such as capital allowances in the UK and MACRS in the US. We’ll break down how each method works and why it matters, and highlight how modelling errors in depreciation can distort balance sheet, tax, debt sizing and investor returns.
Join us to sharpen your modelling skills and ensure your financial models reflect depreciation correctly and consistently.
