What are we going to do at the Business Orientation Days?

Workshop 1: Deals

Tijdens deze workshop krijg je de kans twee interessante facetten in een dealproces van dichtbij te ervaren. Je duikt direct het dealproces in door middel van realistische cases en concrete voorbeelden. Zo simuleren we een Deal Strategy en een Corporate Finance opdracht en zal je in één van beide dealfases bijdragen aan de realisatie van een deal.

Bij de Deal Strategy case ervaar je het proces van een typische market entry, waarbij je het groeipotentieel voor een mogelijke investeerder in kaart gaat brengen. De Corporate Finance case draait om een income based en market based bedrijfswaardering, waarbij je de effecten van mogelijke synergiën op de P&L forecast analyseert, het proces van bedrijfsverkoop begeleidt en de bijbehorende investeerderstypen leert kennen.

Naast de cases krijg je een kijkje achter de schermen bij KPMG. Maak je kennis met onze afdelingen, fascinerende projecten en diverse functies binnen KPMG Deals. Binnen KPMG Deals zijn we dagelijks bezig met de mooiste transacties, complexe dealstructuren en internationale klanten. Met een team van meer dan 250 experts bieden ondersteunen we klanten in alle aspecten van het dealproces. Vanaf dag één adviseer je klanten op C-level en neem je gezamenlijk belangrijke beslissingen die direct effect hebben op de bedrijfsvoering.

Workshop 2: Financial Risk Management

KPMGs Financial Risk Management has a wide variety of clients, from local insurance companies to banks operating in the worldwide market. Therefore, new projects always come with a lot of interesting challenges, just as the case that is presented today! A prominent bank has come to KPMG as they want to make a purchase decision with regards to acquiring a new mortgage portfolio, and they already have a few options. They seek advice on the accompanying credit risks of this purchase decision. Because, although mortgages seem like a good investment, you can never be too thorough in your diligence.

But the bank doesn’t only ask for credit risk advice, there are more aspects of interest before making the final call. Because how will this purchase decision will impact their capital requirements? Would it be beneficial to calculate these capital requirements using an internally developed model? And how do you know for sure that this model internally developed model is performing well? Therefore, we will also investigate the validation of this model, as a second part of the case. But before returning to the client, KPMG will also consider potential other risks that could impact the solvency of the mortgage portfolio. Because what if these houses are subject to climate-related risks, such as floods? Based on all these findings, we ask you to pitch your own recommendations to the client. Which mortgage portfolio is – in your opinion – the best option?
