ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION
IFC Transaction Advisory Services (IFC-CTA) department houses two divisions - IFC PPP Transaction Advisory Services (“IFC-C3P”) and Corporate Finance Services (“CFS”). C3P specializes in advising public sector clients on the introduction of private sector participation in the delivery of infrastructure services while CFS helps private sector companies enter new markets, attract investors, and structure complex projects in diverse markets through M&A type advisory services.
A key task of IFC-C3P is to prepare a Financial Model (“FM”) to determine under what conditions a project will be financially viable and bankable, and to estimate a range of values for a competitive tender’s bid parameter or valuation estimate and range. Project types include primarily, but are not limited to, BOT or other types of PPP structures, concessions, privatizations in the power, transport, water and wastewater, solid waste management, telecom and logistics sectors as well as health and education infrastructure projects Similarly, CFS prepares FMs to assess the potential value to our private sector client on executing an acquisition or capital sale transaction (Corporate Finance Transactions).
IFC-CTA for Africa intends to engage a Model Auditor (the “Consultant”) to check the accuracy of FMs prior to presenting its findings and results to clients. The Consultant will be expected to review a number of FMs across various sectors and countries/regions globally, and which will involve different structures/modalities for Public Private Partnerships (“PPP”) and Corporate Finance Transactions.
