Financial Modelling MASTERCLASS Overview This course is designed for people who would like an opportunity to practise and improve their ability to model cash flows in Excel. The course is conducted in a work shop format, with the emphasis on learning by doing. Taught by an experienced corporate finance advisor, this is a highly practical course that explores the application of financial modelling to real-life transactions. The course covers: Cash flow modelling DCF modelling Buy out modelling Scenario analysis Guidelines for good modelling practice Excel tips and tricks How it works During the programme delegates create a cash flow model from scratch. Delegates are guided through a complete model build up and are shown all the steps they need to take. All through the course plenty of guidance and help is given by the course instructor. Case work relevant to the training group: as part of their work on this course delegates work with their colleagues to build up their own integrated financial statement model, using a local case study chosen before training by class participants. As part of their work on the course, starting from a blank spreadsheet, delegates create a full set of forecast financial statements for the business. Delegates can then choose a scenario to see how the business performs under stress and, for example, how key financial ratios and bank covenant tests change with a change in circumstances. At the end of the course participants will have a record of their own work and a permanent record of the steps they have taken to create their own cash flow model The three days is designed to provide participants with the tools they need to continue with their own modelling efforts as they return to their workplace.
