Delegates

This two-day course is designed for financial professionals needing to build, interpret, review and audit financial models (forecast integrated income statement, cash flow statement and balance sheet). It is suitable for both accountants and non-accountants, but an existing understanding of basic accounting concepts and terminology would be helpful. Delegates concerned about their basic excel ability should first attend the one-day Financial Modelling - Excel Essentials. Laptops (excel v.2020) are provided.

Overview

A forecast integrated set of financial statements is constructed, from scratch, for a real company (based on published historic data). Once the forecast is complete a basic discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation is performed in order to demonstrate the sensitivity analysis.

  • Financial modeling “Golden Rules”: Best practice DOs and DON’Ts
  • Model set-up
    • Model planning
    • Worksheet grouping
    • Date functionality
