Chapter 1 in The FAP Model and Its Application in the Appraisal of ICT Projects, 2015, pp 1-20 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The development of the financial appraisal profile (FAP) model,1 described in this book, provides a practical solution to many of the problems faced by organisations considering investment, not only in information communication technology (ICT) but in all medium to large-scale capital projects. The model is versatile in its approach being broadly applicable to a wide variety of investment situations whether they are investments in buildings, plant and machinery or investments that are routine replacements or part of an expansion or rationalisation programme. The FAP model extends the literature and practice of corporate finance by utilising a profiling approach, taking into account the financial, risk, and strategic elements of an investment decision.
