We will all have experience of projects where the contracts require the production of financial bonds, guarantees and other collateral documents, but do we know what they are or their purpose. Often they are a dealt with exclusively by a finance department and not considered a matter for the project team. However, as contract documents those involved in a project from whatever discipline should at least have an understanding of them. The effect of the Global financial crisis has meant that whether requiring or providing such collateral documents they have attained a greater degree of importance now than perhaps in the past. The purpose of this presentation is to promote a better understanding of such documents including the various forms, the main terms, their advantages and disadvantages .
