This course is based entirely on Microsoft Excel, the spreadsheet package that has become the standard analytical tool in business. However, Excel has many specific analytical limitations. Therefore, this course includes several Excel add-ins that greatly enhance Excel’s capabilities. The add-ins will enable you to perform:
- Risk simulations
- Assess the sensitivity of your model to changes in the inputs
- Assess the expected value of projects overall and at critical milestones
These add-ins comprise what is arguably the most impressive assortment of spreadsheet based software accompanying any financial modeling course on the market. (Note: the software is not time limited.)
Common uses of financial modelling include the following:
- Data Analysis. Analysing current data to optimize operations – either minimize costs or maximize profits
- Forecasting. Analysing historical data and using the results to predict future trends.
- “Monte Carlo” simulation. Inserting random data into a model to measure the impact of uncertainty on the outcome of a project.
