Course Outline

One course, two lengths

Economic Evaluation and Investment Decision Methods is offered in two course lengths; depending on your need for tax considerations, you can register for either course length:

The 2.5 Day Before-Tax Course focuses on economic evaluation concepts, including inflation and a brief introduction to risk, but neglects tax considerations.
The 3.5 Day After-Tax Course continues to address after-tax cash flow and proper economic analysis in light of tax considerations for a variety of industry scenarios.

Both course lengths are available through our scheduled public courses and in-house trainings.

Course Material

Economic Evaluation & Investment Decision Methods (17th Edition, 2024)

This textbook has been written to compliment our presented course material and is provided to course participants. The text is filled with examples illustrating various investment scenarios found not only in the resource industries, such as mining, oil and gas, chemical and refining, but also in the processing, pipeline, power and other sectors. The examples and problems at the end of each chapter focus on specific economic issues, which can be as simple as computing the present value of a future cash flow, to addressing multiple solutions in a cost-income-cost cash flow stream.
