The objectives of the engagement were to redesign the current PBF process through multiple phases with the aims of:
Core objective was to develop and Integrated Value Chain Impairment Modelling process to align to the IAS36 requirements whilst simultaneously achieving the following:
Analysis - Establishing an Assumption based model capable of storing, and calculating key drivers which can be used within multiple, scenarios to determine value and ensure model standardisation.
Build - Create a new Integrated Value Chain Impairment model aligned to IAS 36 which could determine the present value of all cash flows so that impairments can be tested on an automated basis.
Testing - Create a driver-based rolling forecast model, which can integrate with their IBP volume-based modelling application.
Deployment - Integrate with their current 15 SAP instances to directly source the Actual data to baseline the planning, budgeting and Valuation models.
