Practice Drills: Building a Board Level Capital Allocation Presentation

A hands-on drill course for CFOs, finance controllers, corporate development teams, and late-stage founders who have to take a capital allocation plan to a board and get it approved. Working with one sample NSE-listed manufacturer, you will size the five-year deployable cash envelope, estimate the hurdle rate, stress-test the plan against covenants and a downturn, then rank the competing uses on a common basis: capex projects, an acquisition, dividends, a buyback, and debt reduction. You will then turn the numbers into a board deck with a single clear recommendation, the approvals it needs under the Companies Act and SEBI rules, and a risk section that tells directors what would change the answer. The course closes with an independent-director Q&A drill and a complete board pack.
