Risk Assessment Framework

The finance team conducts a comprehensive risk assessment addressing:

  • Budget Accuracy: Is the budget realistic for the creative requirements?

  • Financing Gap Analysis: Is the proposed financing structure achievable?

  • Tax Incentive Qualification: Does the project qualify for applicable incentives?

  • Contingency Planning: Are adequate contingencies built into the finance plan?

  • Cash Flow Management: Is the cash flow timeline aligned with production needs?

  • Completion Risk: Are completion bonds and insurance provisions adequate?

  • Return Potential: Does the project offer competitive ROI under realistic scenarios?

Decision Protocol

The Finance Committee, led by the CO\\OP General Partners leadership and including the studio head, advisors and executive producers, reviews all financial documentation.

 

Projects advance only when the committee confirms the finance plan is viable, risks are adequately mitigated, and return potential meets or exceeds fund targets.
