Financial Modelling is a core skill that is almost mandatory for anyone who wants to build a career in finance. It is also important for anyone who wants to start his or her own business and even useful for sales/marketing professionals as it comes in handy in bidding for projects, determining payback/utility of campaigns etc.

Whenever, we need to make a financial decision, we make a projection of what revenue and costs are likely to be and on the basis of such projections, evaluate if that is a wise decision. In a stock market analysis, we look at the past performance of a company as project what the revenue, costs and profit of the company are likely to be and therefore if we should buy, sell or hold that share.

Intensive 4 days of 听face to face lectures, hands-on practical and tutorials sessions

听A famous Chinese proverb reads 鈥淚 hear, I forget. I see, I remember. I do, I learn鈥�. The structure of the course 鈥淔inancial Modelling with Spreadsheets鈥� tries to capture the wisdom of this proverb. A typical session consists of three steps. First, the instructor lectures about academic concepts from the fields of Management Science, Accounting and Finance (I hear). Second, the instructor applies these concepts to a particular business situation (I see). Third, the students themselves apply the concepts to a real-world business case with the help of the instructor (I do). Students who have taken this course emphasize as strength that the course structure (lecture + example + workshop) facilitates the learning of otherwise complex quantitative models. The software used in the course is Microsoft Excel, with the add-ins Solver for optimization. We will discuss spreadsheet modelling best practices, and review useful spreadsheet features such as data tables, database operations, pivot tables and charts, the data analysis tool pack, and other statistical built-in functions.
